What do expect from the folks that made the c00n favorite The Help...... Watch there be a white person trying to show James the light.

... why does everyone need a biopic?

all this trailer did was remind me how much of a slept on comedic masterpiece Walk Hard was.
on one had its like how can u say that? u got to have a movie about the great james brown.On another hand anything in life thats worth doing at all is worth doing well.This look like some feature length tv shyt that was made on a tight budget with directors/writers who arent capable enough to give such a project justice = a wasted effort

I don't know if I can think of a Black actor than can capture the manic genius that is James Brown, the movie seems a little vanilla if I'm being honest, but I'm a stan of JB so I'll check for it.

i still think spike lee and eddie murphy wouldve done better...and this dude playin' james brown right after he played jackie robinson annoys me for some reason...
annoys the shyt out of me..i'm legit pissed.. i can't take him serious if the last thing he did was 42..and he doesnt have enough personality for james brown.

I still grow a little tired with the lack of black escapism. Damn, everything gotta be based on a true story/real events/real history with black folks.

Still, could be interesting if they are willing to step outside the box a bit and not *just* make a run of the mill film.

Spin but how y'all feelin' bout this Hendrix joint?



Andre looks legit (in this small clip at least) but the Hendrix estate wouldn't give music rights so I'm kinda feeling like this will be a let down. How the fukk you gonna make a biopic of the man without his fukking music?

Man 3 Stacks gonna smash this film. It is a let down Hendrix's estate wouldnt release music for it but still I think this will be a good film. Perfect choice for someone to play Hendrix IMO

That's the same guy that played Jackie Robinson in 42:whoo:

...not only is Hollyweird running out of ideas, but apparently they're running out of us to cast:patrice:
