MOVIES: BEYONCE AS WONDER WOMAN? /NOTORIOUS NATURI AS LIL KIM FOR KING / JADEN IN KARATE KID REMAKE

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

beewonder.gif Beyonce recently expressed her desire to be the first black Wonder Woman:

“What would be better than Wonder Woman?” she tells the Los Angeles Times. “It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”

The singer-actress, 27, has met with representatives at DC Comics and Warner Bros. to discuss donning the red, white and blue bathing suit on screen, she says.

“After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, ‘OK, I need to be a superhero,’” Beyoncé tells the Times. “Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there’s also an action element that I would enjoy.” SOURCE

Warner Bros. has been planning a Wonder Woman film for some time now, but there’s no word on who will be playing the big role.

NOTORIOUS NATURI AS LIL KIM

Former 3LW member Naturi Naughton channels her Queen Bee role for the cover of KING magazine’s newest issue. The now broadway actress plays rapper Lil Kim in the upcoming biopic “Notorious”, which is based on the life and career of the late Notorious B.I.G.

The film also stars Jamal Woodlard, Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, and Anthonie Mackie. “Notorious” will hit US theaters on January 16th, 2009.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON..


sonkarate.gif Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith is set to star in the remade version of “The Karate Kid”.

The film will be produced by Jerry Weintraub (who launched the original franchise) and Overbrook Entertainment - Will’s production company.

Jaden first debut was in the 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness”, which his Dad served as the star and producer as well. The film is said to start shooting next year in Beijing and other cities, following the same plot as the original.

Little Jaden, who next stars in “The Day the Earth Stood Still” is already up for the role - word is he’s martial arts practitioner.

Not feeling that King cover, it looks photoshopped…a lot…and what’s with the tongue out?? As a Lil’ Kim fan I’m a little disappointed, I would have rather she done a generic King cover and just talked about her upcoming movie instead of doing a remake of Lil’ Kim’s album cover…

I know she’s suppose to look like Lil Kim, but why does she look like a cleaned up version of Foxy Brown instead? And Beyonce as Wonder Woman? Girl, sit your bobblehead arse down somewhere and read a book. Who’s filling this chicks head with all this nonsense anyway? They must not be her friends or they would have told her she can’t act, and she not good at acting like she can act either!!

Beyonce is not an actress, well, not one I enjoy watching, this would be a disaster. Maybe she has improved but I can’t see it. PLEASE I beg of you DO NOT LET BEYONCE PLAY THAT PART. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T.

im a fan of action movies, especially superheros. i think beyonce would do great. she has a pretty face and a great body. that is all that she needs! action flicks are just that, action. she doesn’t need to think or act, just stand there on the green screen and let things blow up. beyonce could b the baddest b!tch, and bring that edgy attitude to it. i think ya’ll are looking too deep. action movies have no plot, and beyonce would do great in that role!

That might be an ideal roll for Beyonce she already has tha alterego thing going with sasha LOL but I think she can pull it off.I see Will Smith is tring to keep it in the family I’m starting to see a Hollywood takeover.

12.

NOT EASILY IMPRESSED

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 /

Naturi does look like Lil Kim naturally looks!
Will’s son is a great kid but I saw him having problems reading at an Awards show…they might make him stick with school.
From the looks of Beyonce’s promo pic, she’s already sure she’s going to get it. And how is she when so many other actresses are up for the role or at least have been considered over the years. There is a director now, folks. Suddenly, there’s news of a director so perhaps she is Wonder Woman. She tends to become her characters…maybe she was breaking the news to us. LOL

Wonder Woman? Yeah Right! Let a REAL actress play Wonde Woman.

“What would be better than Wonder Woman?” she tells the Los Angeles Times. “It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”

There are more capable black actresses who could play Wonder Woman.

SMH at this outlandish idea!!!

NO NO NO to beyonce. I heard that obama ask Jennifer Hudson to sing next year when he be swore in for president. Beyonce begging to sing and he ask jennifer hudson again to sing. We see what happen.

No hating…Beyonce would make a HORRIBLE wonder woman.

It’s bad enough that she can’t really act, but when she doesn’t have singing to fall back on (like ALL her damn movies!!!), can we really, honestly say that we would enjoy this???

Plus…think of the line of actors selected to play in Super Hero classics…

Halle Berry…George Clooney…Robert Downey Jr…Michelle Pheiffer…Edward Norton…

My experience with the Marvel/DC Comicbook heroes has been a great one so far and Beyonce would honestly make me NOT want to see it, for fear of her ruining how i view Wonder Woman.

Megan Fox? Maybe.

I like Naturi being Kim ont he cover of the mag…yeah she may look foolish, but she isn’t being herself she is being Kim and she does always look ridiculous.

Beyonce please wonder woman needs to do more than look good….she has to have some acting skills. Just because everybody is on your jock over every little thing you do good, bad or retardeddoes not mean you can act and get the roles that you want. I hope this is just a dream and the real director and casting directors make a better choice.

Beyonce needs to sit her ass down…we just got a black president elected…can we let that marinate for a few months first..i mean damn.

****real actresses, not singers, to fulfill these roles. There are so many unknown
***black actresses who could rock this role with little or no problem. In order to ****spread the wealth and the black power base, we must use unknowns versus hey
****we can get seats filled with Beyonce.

Sometimes people can be so judgemental. Sure these are just opinions but, as for me, I try not to make comments on things I don’t know about. These people are “artist” pursuing THEIR dreams; not yours! So leave them alone. As far as what Beyonce is wearing. It looks like vintage Thierry Mugler. And, if i do say so myself, it is…. FIERCE. Go ‘head Sasha!

LMAO at Beyonce even thinking about playing Wonder Woman (I can almost gaurantee tacky Tina would suggest that House Of Dereon be the designer of the costume lol) , now that will be beyond hilarious! But on the real, Beyonce really needs to sit her overly self-righteous ass down somewhere LIKE NOW….First she wants to to be the first black singer to win a Golden Globe and Oscar (Jennifer Hudson got it boo), then she wants to sing at Obama’s inauguration (Jennifer Hudson has already been ASKED sweety, just like she was ASKED to sing at the DNC), and now Wonder Woman (girl stop it)! I was once a supporter, but ever since she married camel-face she’s been stuck in her own ass ….i literally can’t stand her now!

How many flops does B have to have before she gives up acting, get’s some really good acting lessons, or just does special guest performances like Solange did on Lincoln Heights? I mean really, she needs to give it up already and let the real actresses do their thing.

Give it up B, we peeped your game. Tell daddy to close his wallet and you actually go and audition please.

History in the making

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 /

@50 I agree, if roles didnt go to singers like Beyonce, then maybe we’d have a few more new successful black actresses and actors. And then maybe the ones that have been acting for years but are only known for acting in black films, might actualy become a list actors. Its a shame that only Halle, Denzel, Will, vanessa williams and like 2 others are the only ones that are very successful.

Like i’ve been saying for ages, if Bey cared about the plight of black women in hollywood (actresses that is) then she would give them a chance and not just use her fame to get roles.

Naturi looks strange in this pic, I liked her in 3lw i hope she gets a successful career of her own.

Beyonce is stealing another look again! The “motorcycle” thing she is wearing was the same style that was worn by a supermodel ( I think Claudia Schiffer), for one of George Michaels’ videos, which is older than my 14 year old son. It also had several other models like Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. This child needs to be original and stop.

@65 You said it PERFECTLY. You know how many Black actresses like myself are out there who can’t catch their big break becasue of people like Beyonce. We are the ones that do actually have the talent yet they give it to someone who only acts becasue she is vying to be an Oscar winner. That is such Billshit. Things in Hollywood need to change and I suggest those Hollywood execs get their heads out of their ass.

That is very sad. But then again she’s rich so I guess it doesn’t matter. Not in this country at least! Please, please! I hope the (powers that be) in hollywood dont mess up and give her the role!
