Dreamgirls film controversy — Page 2

^You’re acting like they cast some random girl who just happened to be light skinned…….it was friggin Beyoncé. One of the biggest stars of our time. OF COURSE they were going to cast her. And I agree, the differences in skin color between Effie and Deena added another layer to their conflict.

I found a lot of the “drama” that the original cast had about the movie to be unwarranted and just kinda bitter.

What exactly was the "drama" that the original cast had about the movie?

Sheryl Lee Ralph did a lot of press expressing her opinions about the film and feeling slighted that she wasn't consulted. It was embarrassing. Especially since her last credit at the time was Clean House, a Hoarders type show, where Niecy Nash cleaned her house. Tragic.

As if “In The Heights” isn’t facing the heat right now for the very same issue.

I just hope the producers don’t make the same mistake as the film when it is eventually revived."

and this is probably why it won't be revived for a long time... someone will find something wrong will every aspect
