AV, please feel free to go back and leave a comment on all past posts rather than add to what so obviously irks you. :P Yes, it is sad, but this is the state of affairs shaping commercial black cinema - non-actresses doing remakes of not particularly great films that are barely 20 years old. It's bound to elicit comment. LOL. AV, please feel free to go back and leave a comment on all past posts rather than add to what so obviously irks you.

An amazing young and beautiful talent by the name of Patina Miller is doing sister act in London. An guess what she can act and sing. But its about butts in seats! So they will let Beyonce be really BAD in yet another film. Here\'s Patina singing along with Shana Steele a song by new theatrical composers Pasek and Paul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks_m-dZVuzY Oh, God this makes me sad!

And the film will be a Disney movie to boot. Woe the state of black cinema.

Let's just quickly get Obsessed 2 on the rails and ready to go. I would actually like to see Beyonce work with Guy Ritchie. I think that would be an ultimate test for her. He is so far the only director to pull an ACTING performance out of Jason Statham, so he may be just what Beyonce needs.

Obsessed). As long as she realises her limitations (the choice of Sister Act would suggest maybe she does), then I think she could be warbling on celluloid for a while yet. I wouldn't hold my breath on the acting though.

For me, it just seems too soon for a remake. However, I guess it could work for a younger generation who haven't given the original(s) a look-in... and with Streep playing, it could even draw an older (and mostly female) crowd in too.

I love Meryl really I do and I think maybe she's smart enough to see that... If there's going to be a sister Act 3 it has to be whoopi that does it or don't make it at all...

If they want Streep for the role, then cast VIOLA DAVIS \'coz she\'d be awesome! Let\'s pair those two together again. But they won\'t; \'coz it won\'t make money...but then again, maybe it would ;) Phluck that.

It's a money-maker and if "Obsessed" with the bad diction and stale, cardboard acting can gross monies like crazy, I can see execs wanting to pursue this venture. She's the power to put butts into seats...but please dear GOD, fix that bad diction. I cannot believe... I mean, I'm from Texas and I DO NOT SPEAK LIKE THIS. It's just...it's sad. Beyonce please take some lessons; improve your 'slow-roll, stank-ghetto diction'. :( It's sad. She's an international mogul superstar entertainer yet speaks like she's 'fiddling' Dixie...or whatever the saying says. I wonder how Whoopie will feel about this? I agree with you Sergio.
