Check out the trailer for the upcoming Dreamworks film, ‘The Help‘ via the great site, BlackActors.net. The film opens in theaters everywhere on August 12th and you can read the Synopsis below:
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-facewith the changing times.
How do you feel about Hollywood ALWAYS bringing these types of stories to the big screen?? We need BETTER roles for our black actors/actresses!!
