Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman are teaming up for a new movie!

The actors will star in the upcoming film adaption of August Wilson's play Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which will be heading to Netflix.

Viola and Chadwick will be starring in the Denzel Washington-produced film alongside Colman Domingo, Michael Potts, and Glynn Turman.

The film follows "Ma Rainey, a famed blues singer, as she makes a record in a studio in 1920s Chicago, where tensions boil over between her, her white agent and producer and the bandmates," according to THR.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom was nominated for Best Play at 1985 Tony Awards.

Filming is set to begin in July in Pittsburgh.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Amazing

I need you girls to watch and tell me if it's any good.

I watched that new Wonder Woman film yesterday. It was good and watchable but not amazing. I'd give it a 7/10.

Didn't really like it. Maybe as a play, but I hate the long monologues that don't make sense.

Ok we know you can act ... we get it.

It's one of those period pieces that works best on the stage. I enjoyed the performances but it's not something I'll ever watch again.


yummy

It was boring but most play adaptations usually are :dead: very dialogue driven with only two or three sets
