I think he would be great as well.

Billy SMOKES?!?!?!?! If I had his instrument I would treat it with more care than the Hope Diamond!

If I can't see Norm as Curtis, I will certainly take Jamie. He would be perfect because he has a real smooth voice. I'm really interested in who they finally cast as Jimmy and CC too.

I hope Usher is not involved in any way.

Jamie foxx is a gimmick and most of you are falling for it the man cannot sing please buy his 1st album it came out in the early 90's

He is too much a punk to play Curtis, i see Curtis as "Ike Turner"
he can play Marty

HA

Foxx is certainly the "man of the moment." While I am not his #1 fan, I think casting him in the D-girls film would be inspired. As many have mentioned, I could see him as either Curtis or Jimmy, but I would prefer he do Curtis. He def. adds star-wattage and is a credible singer.

Jamie Foxx can handle singing in the movie. I'd say no to him doing the actual play

If Ramona from Brooklyn wins the Tony , I'd love to have her Lorrell on film and she could be a contender (soooooooooooo good, and I say "win" because it'd create buzz for ticket sales, from theatre people anyway)

"If Ramona from Brooklyn wins the Tony"

Against Maureen and Sara Ramirez??? I seriously doubt it.

I said "if"
But I've seen her play Lorrell before (against Jennifer Holliday and Norm Lewis no less) and she was terrific
