Rihanna may get another shot at acting after her drowning role in Battleship.
The Unapologetic singer is the first choice by production company Noosa Films to play Josephine Baker. ”Rihanna is one of the most talented performers of this millennium,” producer W. Lance Reynolds said in a statement. ”With her unique acting and performing abilities, I have no doubt she will bring Josephine back to life on the big screen.”
The American-born French history-maker was a well-rounded phenomenal, solidifying herself as a singer, actress, dancer, activist and even a spy. While climbing the racist showbiz ranks in the 20s, she became the first black woman to star in a major motion picture… and the mother of 12 adopted children.
Whitney and Janet both always wanted to play Josephine in a film. The only other Josephine biopic which was made for tv won Lynn Whitfield a Emmy for best actress http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013...?utm_hp_ref=uk

Is the person who said this deaf and blind? Rihanna playing Josephine would be a travesty to her legacy. HELL NO.
What singer would you want to play her other than Rihanna ?
There's plenty of unknown actresses out there who can sing and dance well. Don't get some pop star to play the role just because you need a big name attached to the project. Doing the role justice should be the top priority.
I love Rih but NO! Can you imagine her Bajan laced French accent?
To be perfectly honest this should be a role Beyonce goes for. The Creole goddess needs to be working on her Français. If not I think they should invite a new actress.

Obviously they want a big name attached and Rihanna is the most risque black singer out there now who could pull this off
Rih I love you but no. She started out small and thats what she needed to do, she'll slowly get bigger parts as she gets more comfortable with acting and developing her skills more.
tbh Alicia Keys looks the most like her and could probably pull it off.

Since it's an indie it;s hard for black films to get funding without a big name attached and well lets face it Rihanna is the most famous black entertainer atm

Alicia would NEVER do the nudity and neither would Beyonce. People love Josephine but she was the Madonna of her time in France. She is most famous her dancing 100% nude in a banana dress. Lynn Whitfield had to get nude to do the HBO movie which she won an Emmy for

Well I doubt Rih would do the nudity either, I mean yeah the bitch is risque but she's never shown anything without her hands blocking it. Well not intentionally. Tbh they'll either have to tone down the subject matter and get a high profile Artist to do the role, or get an unknown and hope for the best.
