    i live in Brooklyn and there are TOO TOO TOOOOO MANY young black actresses who have dedicated their lives to the craft that will never get a role because of popular non actors like beyonce. it’s just not fair. parts for female actors are already little to none to be giving all the roles to beyonce, who is a singer…not an actor. i mean, anybody can act, but not everyone can act WELL.

    Why ! why !

  11. Candace

    I love Bouncy (beyonce’) but how about…NO…I mean maybe i should H*** No…lol So sorry but i don think she is a good enough actress to play that part…Maybe Jada…or Sanaa… or Angel Bassett…or Kerry Wahshing ton…andyone but Bey…

    I Still love you Bey!!

  12. MONRAEA

    I think that Beyonce would do a very good job. Even though her title isn’t “Actress” she acts very well. I would see it. My kids love the Pink Panther, I however can’t stay awake past the opening. I loved the Gold Member. She was a better actor compared to Cuba. But I really don’t like him, he’s anti-black.

  13. Alexandrea23

    I’m very happy for Mrs. Beyonce Carter…she’s been #1 for some years & no Queen just let’s that title go without fulfilling her dream…..The diva wants an Oscar I can see an Oscar with her doing this role it’s so different from the roles she’s been playing..Also they didn’t say she got the role… no deal has been signed, but they’re considering it…..TEXAS STAND UP!!! Go B!!! My Southern Belle Ass gone be their @ the premiere if U are signed!!!

  14. B CAN NOT ACT

    Everyone knows B can not act, including her STANS The only way she will get an Oscar is if she PAYS for one.If she decides to make this movie, maybe it will shut her fans up when it flops.

    A lot of movies flop because they don’t put new actors in their movies give the new up coming black actress a chance. The reason Cadilac Records flop because ppl knew what to expect on her acting. I like to see movies with new actors in them I get tired of seeing the same ppl in movies because I know what to expect that’s why I watch a lot of horror movies it and by pass movies with actors and actress that are famous because you know what to expect start fresh and new. Beyonce is not a good actress and people see her everyday in news or public doing something her singing is good but acting no not good at all. Why was all that money in getting her to play this when you can get a fresh face good black actress.

  17. D

    I love beyonce, but I definitely can’t see her playing this role. Let’s get someone with the talent for this and the right attitude. I’m thinking TARAJI!! She would kill this role… Not hatin’, this is just the truth.

  18. CJ Springs

    Is the director high or something?!? To play someone as important to Black history as Angela Davis, the director should be auditioning THOUSANDS of actresses in order to find the actress who can BEST play her. It shouldn’t just be handed over to Beyonce. She should be auditioning the Angela Bassett’s, the Taraji Henson’s, the Kimberly Elise’s and all the other great talent that’s out there.

  19. …..some of yall act like be is a struggling actress
    …..tryna make it NOT… she is just greedy and selfish
    ….. you married a so call millionaire sit yo ass down
    …… lol booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  20. jayme

    BEYONCE?!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS JUST SOOO OVERRATED!

    WHAT ABOUT ALICIA KEYS?????????????????

  21. irrational rationalist

    haters…

  22. DEO

    ***the casting lacks creativity. Why are they just sticking Beyonce in everything as
    ***though she’s the last black woman kicking. There are talented ACTRESSES out
    ***that don’t get chances because she’s becoming the whole industry’s go to black
    ***girl. Clearly she doesn’t have the grace to turn these roles down. I wish they
    ***would stop offering them to her. There isn’t a black attress I can think of that
    ***should play Ms. Davis. I know there is one out there the casting staff just needs
    ***to be more creative and resourcful and FIND HER.
    ***I love Bey but she would be stepping out of her place by stepping into this role. IF
    ***THEY JUST GOT TO HAVE A SINGER HOW ABOUT GOAPELE ????

  23. DEO

    ***Better choices than Beyonce:
    ***Actual ACTRESS – Sophie Okonedo. She played May in the Secret Lives of ***Bees.
    ***Actual ACTIVIST – Goapele Mohlabane. If they must have a singer this is the best
    ***choice.
    ***I love Bey but these women have more DEPTH and even look more like Ms. Davis ***and Ms. Mohlabane actually seems to SHARE HER PHILOSOPHY. Seriously,
    ***let’s not let this director disrespect Ms. Davis by just sticking the staple black girl ***in to represent her.
