Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone

[GreatestLaker]

Is Zoe Saldana the best actress out?

I was not at the auditioning process. The director obviously saw something in her.

If only MJB could act, this was
The role that could have defined her career, and given the subject matter(Nina Simone) I think
MJB could have pulled it off.

I thought MJB was playing her originally! I remember she called the TJMS and talked about the working on the movie and sang a song in french that was to be on the sound track.

There was no audition process dumb ass. Got damn, you a stupid nikka.

 

[DemureNatural]

she'll do any part that doesn't involve having a black love interest.

She played Nick Cannon's love interest in Drumline

 

[Premeditated]

See how she does in the role first before you start criticizing her. If she flops then by all means bury her.

you're right. I just felt that there were other actresses who would suit this role. And I honestly don't think the casting director picked her based on out acting other talents, but them thinking she's a cashcow by her self(even though she hasn't really proven it). And yeah, I doubt there was any audition process

Whatever the process was. The director saw something in Zoe. I'd trust her judgement over a bunch of hypocritical negroes online. :

Is her daughter a director? An actor? A producer?

Of course you would trust a white man, over the black daughter of the person you are discussing and other black people. I don't think anyone expected more from you.

Yeah, you are right.

This is what she said on the matter.

Simone took to her Facebook page to voice her concerns, writing: 'Appearance-wise this is not the best choice.'

However, Simone then continued to say that she had no problem with the star’s acting ability, but added she would have liked to see a darker-skinned actress such as Viola Davis or Kimberly Elise take the part.

I remember when Angelina Jolie played a biracial woman in some movie, and the person she played she was friends with, but I still gave it the side eye because I couldn't suspend my disbelief.

Just...couldn't do it.

 

[emoney]

you right about champ, dude claim them bi-racials as black


but i dont

you've said it time and time again. these bi-racial folks are black to you. so it makes sense for greatest lakers to call you out on ya hypocrisy.

 

[DaChampIsHere]

Bi-racial genetically and black socially are the same thing in this country. I wish you all would get over it and move on.

You're trying very hard not to label light skinned people (because that's what you base it on, not actual genetics) black but benefit from that social label in many ways. If you really believe what you type, you'd shun a lot of the things you have/do in life, but you don't so,

You talk a good game, but you're not really about it so

@luckyse7enz

Viola Davis has the talent to do it and has been in a enough noteworthy flicks.

co-sign. Exactly, why couldn't they hire that woman and we all know that she's going kill that role better than Zoe
