MOVIE BITS: ‘THE BEST MAN’ SEQUEL TEAMS UP W/ UNIVERSAL PICTURES??

Front Row ( L-R ): Monica Callhoun, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut and Terrence Howard
Back Row ( L-R ): Taye Diggs, Regina Hall, Sanaa Lathan, Harold Perrineau, Melissa DeSousa and Director Malcolm D. Lee

According to Deadline.com, Universal Pictures is looking to make a sequel film to the 1999 wedding-comedy, The Best Man. While the original writer/director, Malcolm D.

Terrence Howard, Harold Perrineau, Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan also starred. The original grossed $35 million. [Source]

Singer/actress Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer & country music’s very own Dolly Parton are starring in an upcoming film this winter called Joyful Noise. In the musical dramedy, Latifah and Parton play two church choir members who share opposing views on how to take their little town choir to the top of a national gospel choir competition.

Palmer plays Queen Latifah’s daughter who later catches the eye of Parton’s grand-son, who also has some vocal chops of his own. Law & Order‘s Jesse L. Martin and Courtney B. Vance also co-star in the film.
