Effie has been cast in Bill Condon's DREAMGIRLS!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an update on Bill Condon's next directorial outting, DREAMGIRLS, thanks to Playbill (Sorry, forgot... and special thanks to Franz Kafka for the heads up!). Jamie Foxx is already onboard, as is Eddie Murphy, Beyonce Knowles and Danny Glover. There was talk of Fantasia taking the lead role of Effie in the musical loosely based on the rise of Diana Ross and The Supremes. Well, the role has been cast and Fantasia ain't in it. It's a lady named Jennifer Hudson, another American Idol contestant who the filmmakers believe was "born" for the role. KINSEY was great and GODS & MONSTERS is still as great as it was the day it was released. Condon has my full confidence and this looks like an insanely interesting cast. What do you folks think?
