Dreamgirls test screening

On the IMDB message boards, someone posted there was a test screening for the movie in Emeryville, CA. This was confirmed on the IMDB boards by someone close to the movie and this is what they said happened:

*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience at the end of AND I AM TELLING YOU.... A few people down front actually stood up.

*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience at the end of the movie.

*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience for Eddie's and Jennifer's 'cards' at the end of movie.

And "Ain't No Party" has definitely been cut!

The fight scene in "Heavy" was cut, but "It's All Over" is in

Sometimes ya gotta cut.

Was Beyonce not going to do it unless she got new material?

Ever since RENT and The Producers failed after hardly making any cuts to the score, I've given up caring what they do in the stage to film transfer. I trust Bill Condon a lot, especially since Chicago was so good and every cut made sense to me.

So far, everything I've seen for this movie I've really, really liked.

The Deena/Effie reunion clip that they showed was probably cut...the way Beyonce speaks those lines is so ghetto. Deena is sophisticated, not some around-the-way hoodrat. Supposedly it was replaced with a better take on the scene.

did you just say "hardly any cuts" when refering to Rent?


They cut the friggin emotional core of the score. It may not have been a "big" cut time wise but it was a big ****ing cut.

when are they going to release the soundtrack?
