Beyonce to play Angela Davis ??

Bouchareb, working from a script by novelist Yasmina Khadra, has his lead actress firmly in mind: "I want Beyonce Knowles to play Angela Davis," he said.(Click the post title to read full article)

I'm a big fan of Beyonce the singer & Sasha the performer. However, I have a problem with Beyonce Knowles the actress, Beyonce herself admits she's sit a baby in the world of acting...but why does she always have be a singer in her movies...Goldmember, Fighting Temptations, Pink Panther, Dreamgirls & Cadillac Records. The only exception her newest movie Obsessed....one movie I can't wait to see...she plays the wife of chocolate fineness Idris Elba. I loved Dreamgirls..and I think Beyonce did a really great job with Deena Jones. Somehow, I wasn't really itching to see Cadillac Records...in the end I only watched the 15mins where Beyonce played Etta James, and she honestly did a superb job there too, but I'm just tired of seeing her doing similar roles every time. If she really does get this Angela Davis role..I'm sure she'll do an incredible job and well, we'll get to see a different side of her also.

....The whole Etta James dissing Beyonce thing was so uncalled for and random.

Etta said she was kiddin.

And..uhm..Angela Davis is an icon of the civil rights era, and Bee is a good actress, but I don't think she has the range to play Davis, what about Taraji, I mean homegirl just got an Academy Award nomination, what about Sanaa? what about Rosario Dawson, she did an awesome job in Seven Pounds. The Angela Davis movie is about real in your face civil rights era stuff, we need a well proven actress
