Celeb News: Mo'Nique announces first movie since "Precious"

Quote:

The actress has signed on to star in “Blackbird,” an adaptation of the 2006 coming-of-age novel by Larry Duplechan that she will also executive-produce through her and husband Sidney Hicks’ Hicks Media production banner. Also onboard for the film, which is set to be directed by Patrik-Ian Polk (“Noah’s Arc,” “The Skinny”), are Isaiah Washington (“Blue Caprice”), Terrell Tilford, Gary L. Gray, Kevin Allesee, Torrey Lamaar, Nikki Jane, D. Woods and newcomer Julian Walker.

“Blackbird” tells the story of Randy Rousseau (Walker), a 17-year-old choir boy living with his family in a tight-knit Mississippi town who not only struggles with his “misfit” status in the religiously-conservative community but is consistently plagued by a series of disturbing premonitions. Randy’s world becomes even more complicated when the sudden disappearance of his younger sister results in the breakup of his parents (Mo’Nique and Washington) – an event his grief-stricken mother blames him for after discovering a shocking secret he’s been hiding.

Also on board is Danity Kane castoff, D. Woods (Wanita Woodgette) who will be making her first appearance on the silver screen. What do we think about Wanita, her booking power?

Hopefully she acts a lot better than how she acted like she cared about Danity Kane when she was in the group. Congrats to her though, get that money Wanita......and make it last.

Context clues, plus the fact that the director did Noah's Arc makes me believe this will be a gay coming out story. Hopefully this film will see a theater, because the casting sounds like Netflix exclusive/Straight to DVD.

Let these girls know, she didn't think DK was coming so soon she had prior engagements booked. They tried her.!
