I thought my man Mike Epps was supposed to play Richard. What happened?
ReplyDeleteMike Epps would have been a much better choice-agreed
ReplyDeleteI just can't take Wayans seriously. I don't know what it is--maybe Little Man, White Chicks, and all those have poisoned his image. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteMarlon typecast his own self, but I believe he has potential that nobody has seen yet. Kudos to him for getting this mega role. I just hope this film has a great director, otherwise it will flop. Even if the acting is good, it can't save a poorly directed film. The movie 'precious' is a good example. I would never have thought the caliber of performances from people like Monique and Mariah Carey, would've done so well. I was skeptical with Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles, but he pulled it off beautifully. I'm gonna give Marlon a chance.
