Rachid Bouchareb Wants Beyonce For Angela Davis Movie – Producer-writer-director Rachid Bouchareb is currently working on a film about the life of Angela Davis,who was a Black Panther ,a leading figure of the civil rights movement and an FBI renegade wants Beyonce in the lead role.Here is Angela Davis mini bio:
Davis, who once studied here at Berlin’s Humboldt University, became a cause celebre in the late 1960s when she was sacked from her post as philosophy professor at UCLA for being a communist. She later found herself on the FBI’s “10 most wanted” list after guns used in a fatal courtroom breakout were traced to her. She was charged with kidnapping and first-degree homicide and went on the run before being arrested. She was eventually acquitted by an all-white jury after one of the most high-profile trials in postwar America.
Bouchareb said that the movie will be shoot in summer 2010 with a budget in the region of $20 million-$30 million and added:
“I want Beyonce Knowles to play Angela Davis.” “It’s a great dramatic role for her.”
Has Angela Davis agreed to this? Is Beyonce the one she wants to represent her life and legacy on film?
Can the producer be contacted?
Is the producer aware of all the more seasoned experienced black actresses who would give their ‘eye-teeth’ for this role and do it far more justise fhan a mediocre actress like Beyonce Knowles? Taraji Henson, Jurnee Smolett, Jada Pinkett Smith, Thandie Newton..to name a few.
Beyonce an inconsistent ‘actress’ who fails to remain in character. She makes the viewing experience uncomfortable and unpleasant…unless the viewer is a devoted fan who thinks she can do anything including walk on water.
Is the producer considering Beyonce because she is an apparent box office draw?
Beyonce’s ego will not allow her to refuse a role she is clearly unsuited for, and this one of them.
PLEASE, Mr. Bouchareb! Consider a first rate actress.
There are plently available who would love this role and would do it honor because they love the craft of acting, and do not accept roles for the mere ‘lust’ of a gold-plated statue.
PLEASE. There are many of us who came of age during this turbulent time in America’s History who would absolutely love to see the life of Angela Davis portrayed on the silver screen.
Just not by Beyonce Knowles, who despite certain critical acclaim (‘retch’) cannot act her way out of a flimsy brown bag.
Decent movie fans are trired of seeing a mediocre actress like Beyonce Knowles portray their beloved entertainers, and icons on film.
please, please, don’t do this to us, by given this role to someone who do not have to skill’s. I think what will happen is that you will lose money, try to put more thought into the process of making this important movie, like maybe thinking about someone who has some acting skill’s and alittle more soul, Erykah
Badu, Angela Bassett, TJaraji P Henson, venessa l williams, and Paula Patton, but just don’t give it to that none talented Halle berry, if you do, then forget it, we just want go see it, she is played out, not interesting,
Well, Beyonce did okay in Cadillac Records but I don’t think she has the acting ability to portray Angela Davis. This is a joke right? What about Vivica Fox. They should definately choose someone with soul. Not soul that you learned or was taught to you from a child on up but natural soul. Vivica Fox or Erykah Badu would be perfect for the role. Angela Davis is someone you can’t pretend to be, you have to actually feel her pain and her struggle. Please choose an actress who didn’t come from a well to do background, someone who at least had to struggle some time in their life, someone who has had to overcome obstacles themselves. I feel this would make the character more realistic. NOT BEYONCE. and I am a Beyonce fan.
The economy is too bad to waste money. If Beyonce stars in this movie, I definately won’t spend my dime. I’d rather wait for it to come out on dvd and borrow is from someone.
I dont mean any harm but thats the problem now people dont know talent when they see it. its people like yall always hating on beyonce. damn dont get mad cause she is the best thing out right now. let that girl have her shine because if yall was in the situation u would do the same damn thing. beyonce is a damn good actress singer dancerthe girl is ust the shit right now but guess what i hope she is not caring that yall ron here hating because guess what while she is still collecting her money and making new shit u still wondering how u r gonna pay ur light bill or mortgage bill…….yall sometimes get ignorant and while u talking abt u not spending any money if she gets the role u gonna be the first bitch in line but if not who cares ur just one dumb ass person…….she has every right to have a big ego she is almost the only female celebrity that keeps her private life to herself try to live a normal life and dont hear her name in any drama even when people throw shots at her she is too classy and good of a lady thats why she is constantly being bless now hate now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you BJ!!! for saying eveything what I wanted to say, you saved me a lotta typing!
And to the girl euh sorry I mean stupid fangirl terry; Its not about fucking hating on someone or whatnot, Just go ahead and read about Angela Davis and think about, and then you will see why only the best of the best actress could represent the real Angela Davis on film. This must not be a Hollywood kinda movie.
If I had a say in it, it would be an unknown powerfull actress.
terry, stfu.
