Oh, wow, I would orgasm if they got Anika Noni Rose to play Lola. She would be sublime! As in, perfection! What a pity that it isn't happening.
I thought of Natalie Portman too, it's not someone that could just inhabit the role naturally, but with the right director she'd be good, especially considering that Lola was the ugliest woman in America or whatnot. Portman would bring that past into the part. My problem with Beyonce is that I think she's just not funny since he acting tends to be so transparent, the dancing and the singing would be great, but I think moments like the scene before "Whatever Lola Wants" would be lost on her.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
