I love Halle and all but they couldn't find a dark skinned actress??? And yes, its an issue in Hollywood so it matters. In what world does somebody see Fantasia grown self being sisters w/ Halle?

I hope something like happens for Brandy. A big movie musical is right her in her bag. 
g

!!!!

I was hoping Brandy would get casted as shug when they first announced they were doing this

I was wondering if she even auditioned for this

Seeing as she is in her acting bag now and i would have hoped so but oh well.  hopefully bran gets casted in a movie soon.

You do know there was light skinned and mixed people in the film right?  :uhh:

Fanny and Halle look nothing alike but it's more of an age thing than skin color. I can attest personally to having light and dark skinned siblings from the same parents

Yes of course. They proab will have Halle just play young Nettie alongside another actress for young Celie but they still could have stuck with a darker skinned female. I'm sure they will give good sis a tan though

WE CAN PLAY THEM because its an ongoing issue. I'm not one to make a big deal about certain things but I'm just pointing it out b/c its clearly a star/money grab thing for them. They would never cast a light skin Celie b/c apparently Celie is supposed to be dark and ugly huh??

again

N

if fantasia dark? no. is fantasia ugly? no. abd tasia ain't but a couple damn shades lighter than halle. and neither are light-skinned. yes, REPRESENTATION is an issue in hollywood. but nit-picking which girl is light or dark ENOUGH to play this or that is dumb and counter-productive. and clearly wasn't a concern for that casting of halle OR fantasia. it's the TALENT that mattered. and they both posess undeniable amounts of it. case closed.
