    Yeah, I hear Etta was NOT feeling the casting choice.

    Ms Fierce was on Oprah discussing a scene that involved lots of curse words and she said she was hesitant and didn't think she was ready for such a gritty part. But her mom encouraged her and said, no you're ready girl. b, 21b, 21How long??b, 21

    Yeah man normally I like to think positive and give the person the benefit of the doubt, but I really do not see it.

    How about some posts of who you would want to play what part. Let's hear em.
  • bassiebassie 11,710 Posts
    There was a thread about this a while ago and a few different names came up, don't remeber them all. Pickwick33 had a good suggestion - looks-wise anyway. She was a former Am Idol contestant I believe...
  • 45toLife45toLife 37 Posts
    It was probably Fantasia- Yeah she would be a fair choice. She has some serious feeling that is for sure. Didn't mean to be redundant. I must have missed that thread.
  • bassiebassie 11,710 Posts
    No it wasn't her - I would remember her. Someone from a few seasons back - maybe not even a winner? Pickwick will have to refresh - Fantasia doesn't resemble James really, this other gal came closer.b, 21b, 21Please. You'd have to be on this thing 24/7 to see every thread and get every alias, etc.

    prolly Jennifer Hudson
  • bassiebassie 11,710 Posts
    lol - no! would have remembered her, too.b, 21b, 21Where the hell is Pickwick?
  • leisurebanditleisurebandit 1,006 Posts
    not to be captain obvious, but Latifah could play Etta James?

    /object1b, 21b, 21I didn't realize this was a done deal. b, 21b, 21I thought people were joking about the cast. b, 21b, 21James came to Chess in 1960.b, 21Muddy and Howlin and Chuck were still around, but their hit making days were behind them. (I think Chuck might have been in jail or something then actually.)b, 21b, 21Was she the most important female artist at Chess in the 60s?b, 21b, 21I can't think of too many others, Fontella Bass, Koko Taylor, Jean DuShon...?

    #1: I can't be mad that they made a film about Chess (unless it sucks).b, 21b, 21#2: Who's playing Monk Higgins img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" 21?

    b, 21b, 21Kimberley Locke? Lookswise maybe sorta, but the grit? I dunno...
  • LaserWolfLaserWolf Portland Oregon 11,517 Posts
    I think Latifah would have been good also. She can act and she is tough.

    Seriously, "At Last" will straight up MURDER 99.9% of singers out there, least of all someone like Beyonce who simply doesn't remotely have the pipes to pull it off. b, 21b, 21Latifah could probably sing a better version but still-not-a-great-cover.
