  7. 8baller

    Good looking cast……..yeah even Diddy…lol.

  8. The leading women look like they could all really be related. Look at the eyes and the noses.

  9. SUPERstarshine

    Sanaa is pretty but she looks like the average pretty girl on the street, but ain’t nothing wrong with that. And Phylicia Rashad looks radiant, beautiful compared to when I last saw her on TV a few years ago.

  10. Fancyface

    Ugh! PDdiddy’s turtle neck scaring me.

  11. STUPID PEOPLE

    SOMEONE NEEDS TO SLAP SOME LOTION ON DIDDY’S KNUCKLES AND QUICK! ASAP ASAP!

  12. Knuck

    Diddy looks a mess! They wouldn’t let him wear Sean John? lol and the shoes? goodness.. I think he just looks very cheesy. Not the normal “cocky” self.. hmm

  13. chiTOWN

    Some of y’all are just hating for the sake of hating. It was a portrait studio at Sundance, which means you go as is. If you were down in Utah you would know they have a lot of activities and you have to walk around alot therefore, people are rocking comfortable attire.

    I commend Diddy for trying to branch out and expand his horizons. And telling from the new trailer, he did the damn thing.. I may not like his character, but I ALWAYS give props when props are due. (a no i’m not saying this because Diddy reads CL).

  14. dyshea

    diddy’s hands look like he been choppin bricks and he looks so regular or somethin not his usual asshole flashy self

  15. I am looking forward to seeing this next month.
    Phylicia Rashad looks GREAT for age !! John Stamos looks OLD I barely recognized ol Uncle Jesse lol!

  16. ThinkAboutIt

    Most advertisers expect there to be a big audience watching so the 3 hours includes will no doubt include long commercials – but it will definitely be worth it. This is a powerful story.

    The 3 sisters look a lot alike…. beautiful.

  17. Dame

    They overall look nice Diddy look silly he is NOT perserving the sexy in that pic. 3hrs I am going to have take a nap before it comes on. When movies are long I tend to fall asleep.

  18. the_one

    Sanaa is the most beautiful woman ever. I love that she is just a natural beauty, make on or off, how many other celebs can do that, without makeup you are like wow, with her is just natural and she has a beautiful body.

    the one has spoken, I cannot wait to see a Raisin in the Sun…

  19. sexsee

    Diddy, Look Good….

  20. tyhonnie

    Diddy Look Like A Rasin In The Sun! …………… I Read This And Saw The Orginal It’s A Meaniful Story.

  21. Louis RICH

    I have to ask after 13+ years in the entertainment biz do people even know why they hate Diddy so much? It’s hard to understand why most of you have a distain for someone you don’t even know & why cause they’re famous?, rich etc. Diddy & other celebs have made a career off of the fact that the more people hate you the more you stay in the game. BE HONEST if he acted the way you wanted him to act you STILL wouldn’t like him, if he handled his business the way YOU felt he should would he still be as successful? I agree he is a spotlight hound & a media whore but he chose that life a long time ago & I believe in his heart & mind he really feels he is a good person & behind closed doors he may be! WE see what he wants us to see when those cameras are on (BTW Tommy Mattola & Jimmy Iovine are just as bad if not worse they just don’t get the press)

    Basically, this post is part of a campaign within the Black community Called “No Hate In 08′” yeah it sounds cheesy but the basis is to show people that we hate on famous people as if we personally know them & we take they’re actions personal is if they’ve done something directly to us. (All you guys can say bad about Beyonce is she wears lace front wigs?! How many of you would live like Jay-Z if you could afford it? when’s the last time YOU forgot to get your toes done or put lotion on YOUR knuckles?)

    You don’t have to like someone if you don’t want to, but let’s try to live like mama taught us “IF YOU AIN’T GOT NOTHING NICE TO SAY DON’T SAY NOTHIN AT ALL!”
    …CAUSE YOUR FEELING WOULD BE HURT IF SOMEONE SAID BAD THINGS ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME…NO HATE IN 08′!!!!!

  22. Wow great cast…I love Phylicia Rashad!

    @ J.Lewis…you cheating on L.London???!!! I’m telling!!!

  23. Knuck

    Nobody is hating on Diddy.. It just really pops out at you how fake the “Diddy” is in these pictures because we have been exposed to him so much.. What Diddy doin walkn around lookn like somebody’s granddaddy? Clearly, the attire and the vibe he’s giving is appropriate, but it’s not HIM. This is a picture, not the movie. He doesn’t have to act. Everybody else looks normal…

  24. DAMN U CLAIRE HUXTABLE! U LOOK AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    SANNA LATHAN DOESNT SURPRISE ME, SHE ALWAYS LOOKS STUNNING

    LOOK AT MY HUSBAND PUFFY WITH HIS CUTE SELF!

  25. Too-Life

    Sanaa looks maaaaaad good

  26. LOL @ Such Mag

    I mean all these rumors of LL and Lil Wayne…i was just sick of beiing the sideline hoe lol. So now me and Jurnee Smollett are talking!!!

  27. Stacy H

    Sanaa is so beautiful!

  28. WHY_ME!?!??!

    I love me some Claire Huxtable!! All the ladies look good..

  29. WHY_ME!?!??!

    and is that Uncle Jessie?

  30. NaijaQT

    PREACH!!! @ Louis Rich

    I agree with you 100%. Anyway, I’m looking forward to watching the film. I read the book a few years back, so I’m anxious to see if the film is as good as the novel. BTW the cast looks great!!

  31. I thought this was a play…I was about to say, “When the hell does Diddy have time to do a play?”…

    John Stamos looks hella old…

  32. Sharonda

    LOL Diddy made a whole career by being bipolar.But either way I’m happy for him because he plays sooo many roles.I can’t wait!

  33. Dame

    For the record I like Diddy he is the bomb. I just think his reputation with women is what put me at odds with him. My opinion is my just that.

    @J.Lewis what LL rumor?

  34. Sparkle

    Ok what happened to John Stamos? He was such a fine white guy when he was uncle Jesse on full house. Now he looks like a bum they found and said “come on and be in this movie”. Why John why?

  35. Harlem Mami

    Sanaa is BEAUTIFUL!

  36. @ Dame

    Lauren London and Lil Wayne were supposedly dating…at least that was the rumor for a few weeks. Now I heard he with Superhead. Either way he’s getting all the chicks

  37. Dlish

    This was one of my fav books in high school. Loved the original movie, can’t wait to see how the new cast performed.

  38. a

    Their All Dressed In Character. And Uncle Jessie Outside Of Character Still Fly.

  39. DMACK

    I wish that you all understood what this movie is about and equate it to their attire. They are all beautifull people. Just dont hate one another, its so ugly!!

  40. lilblackfan

    the play is amazing! i read it in high school, but never got to see a broadway production. so this movie should be interesting.
    :D

  41. Leonna

    Lovely looking cast, but that John Stamos is too fine to be hidden behind that beard!

  42. ritchbitch

    For Sanaa and the gang to always be complaing about never getting any roles in the industry, you would think they would stay up in important industry press events like sundance, cannes ect.

  43. payneles

    I’m just as a quick comment…Diddy is a regular person. And maybe that is the problem with many of us thinking that these people are not. They are the same as you and me just with a different hustle.

    The women do look beautiful…A great cast…can’t wait until it comes on.

  44. Memememeeee

    Lawd, yall look at net pics w/ a magnifying glass or something? Who the hell paying attention to Puffy hands? I better not NEVER catch NONE uh yall w/ ashy skin. Geez yall are out of control.

  45. BooB MAN

    Omar Epps a fool he left Saana Lathan. That boy outta his mind.

  46. Puddl3s

    OMG, i have to read this book for english this semester, maybe ill just skip the book and watch the show. lol jk. i heard the book is good tho.

  47. DaniGurl

    Phylicia Rashad still looks good… Black don’t crack!

  48. Emma V's Great- Grandaughter

    Puffy looks like he is special in that picture.

    John Stamos looks old.

    But I can’t wait to see this movie.

  49. Beau T. Full

    WOW! Audra, Phylicia, and Sanaa DO look related to each other. Like two beautiful daughters and their stunning mother!!!! Can’t wait 2 see movie!

  50. Sisters45.com - Classy Black Women Pictures Gallery

    Sister Sanaa Lathan still beautiful… P-diddy looking sharp… Beautiful Black People…

  51. Cookie Luv

    ******>>> I like the outfit Sanaa is wearing.. What designer is that?
    Do Tell!!!

  52. I was privileged to see Raisin w/ this cast a few years back in New York. From this clip I can see a lot of growth in Diddy’s performance. The stage production was very fast paced. Slowing it down to 3 hours will help the actors absorb the fine nuiances of their characters.

    This had to be hard for him to do. He is working with cream of the crop actors. And the chracter he plays is so far to the left of him, he might as well be chinese. The concept of failure can be hard for an A type personality to grasp.
    I think getting into the head of Walter Lee was blocking him before. Now, from these clips, looks like he’s got it. He hesitated a bit, but I think he is feeling more comfortable calling himself an actor.

    People, please don’t take this play lightly. It’s not just a good story, it’s our history.
    This is how things were,,,,this was our life as a people. Understanding how just a short time ago all blacks were considered sub human can help us to understand
    why things like Jena 6 continue to happen.

    kind

  53. ANDREA

    Oh my goodness I recorded a Raisin in the Sun on my DVR and just watched it. My god Phylicia Rashad put ti down!!! Oh my goodness I forgot what a wonderful actress she was. Man she was really truly amazing to me. She had me in tears to when all of that money was gone.

    Sanaa always does a wonderful job. I totally love her too and she is definitely under-rated.

    Puff I didn’t think did a good job. I don’t think he was right for this role. It’s just something with his lips and seems like he is pouting all the time and has not emotions on camera.

    But I loved the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
