Lionsgate UK today have sent me the UK trailer for Tyler Perry‘s FOR COLORED GIRLS which hits the UK Cinemas on December 10th. The movie is based on the award winning story by Ntozake Shange called For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf’.
Tyler Perry has ensembled a fantastic cast which includes Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg, Omari Hardwick, Kerry Washington, Anika Noni Rose, Janet Jackson, Loretta Devine and on the evidence of this movie it does look like it deserves at least a Oscar nomination. We all love movies and the diversity of whats on offer is fantastic but sadly there is many people who’ll only stick to the big major blockbusters and seem to ignore the other movies and these days those movies they ignore alot of them are the better movies. So why not be different see something that may not be first choice which will have qaulity before qaunity, so why not check out For Colored Girls?
Check out the trailer, new poster and images from the movie below….
Adapted for the screen from Ntozake Shange’s Obie Award-winning play ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf’, this adaptation for screen is a poetic exploration of what it is to be of colour and female in this world. The story, a milestone in American Theatre, speaks as powerfully today as when it was first performed in New York in 1975. Through this remarkable adaptation we are taught about existence and hardship from the perspective of 20 black women. Exploring themes of love, abandonment, rape and abortion the film’s outstanding ensemble cast deliver visceral and intense performances; including BAFTA winner Thandie Newton (Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Crash) Janet Jackson, Macy Gray and Oscar winner Whoopi Goldberg (Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Ghost). And featuring a song from Leona Lewis.
