for colored girls.../ update

so this is what tyler perry has to say about his new project, "for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" :
tp: "My name will not be in front of the title because it's not an original work for me. There will be no Madea, so all of you can relax. It's going to be true to what it is. If you know anything about the play, you know that it's a bunch of poems. There's no real story, and that's probably why it's never been made into a movie. The way the movie opens is that all of these different women are leading their own lives, and they pass each other and you follow their stories. No one knows each other and halfway in the movie, they end up in this center that this woman started called 'The Colored Girl center,' where women go through like a 12-step program for healing. That's what the script is about. I want to make sure that I respect and honor the play because it was written before I was born."

and his dream cast!
"There are 15 characters in the film and my dream cast is Kimberly Elise, Cicely Tyson, Ruby Dee, Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, Angela Bassett, Thandie Newton, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce. I've talked to 6 of the women and they have said yes. You have to figure out that part."

:it is interesting to note that last year whoopi goldberg was producing a f.c.g project on broadway starring india.arie but had to pull out when financiers backed out due to lack of knowledge on the work. couldnt put on a show with 'for colored girl" and "suicide" in the title. *blank stare
