Can u imagine what a movie that would be if they could only get rights to music. Whitney had planned to play Ms Ross but Dreamgirls the movie fell through-I wonder y--they could at least use the music from the show. Can u imagine the scene at Motown 25 when Diana pushes Mary;or when Flo threw drink in Berry's face , or the RTL tour fiasco;or the fandemonium at its height in the 60s here and in England; and the glorious music. What a great film that would be. Let's hope.

ewwww..nobody wants to see all that mess..
what about Mary's tantrums? gotta show everything in a movie. hehehehe

Now dont try to start something that I didnt intend--yes the whole story--I havent read about Mary's tantrums--look at All About Eve for great drama and conflict--Id love a movie that shows as I said-the glorious music.

I said that in humor, note the "hehehehe"
There's her "I am The Supremes" comment during RTL
and a Detroit newspaper article where she wanted her daughter to buy her a mom's day card with feeling.
I hope one day Mary and Diana appear on springer
cheers
hehehehehe

What a shame that this topic has to always turn negative...

The ladies gave so much and sacrificed a lot too.

By ..... (207.241.96.10) on Monday, April 07, 2003 - 10:28 pm:

Well we gave too..our money.
After all they are entertainers and if some of them didn't do silly things, those things wouldn't be scrutinized.

When I saw the heading I thought that this was gonna be a thread about "Beach Ball", the 1964 beach movie wherein The Supremes appear, singing the fabulous "Surfer Boy". Someone once said that in this film, Diana's hairdo looks like "the left side of Salvador Dali's moustache".

By Vandelron (24.44.20.172) on Monday, April 07, 2003 - 10:46 pm:

Lets just ignore the negative. Lol Diana's hairdo. The Tempts movie was a big success and look at Dreamgirls show. Are there any other Motown movies planned?What happened to the Marvin Gaye one?

I TOO HAVE LONGED TO SEE THE SUPREMES STORY TOLD AS I MENTIONED IN A PREVIOUS THREAD,BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL HAPPEN IF BERRY AND DIANA HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT,HERE ARE MY CHOICES FOR THE LEADS..HOLLY ROBINSON,DIANA..HALLE BERRY,MARY.QUEEN LATIFA,FLO.IF DONE RIGHT COULD BE GOOD!

By blueskies (67.24.157.168) on Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - 11:34 am:

Wow! Queen Latifa! Now that's casting! She could raise the roof! Perhaps she could star in a film about Florence! I think she's got the voice (after seeing Chicago) and the fire to do it!

By Marv (205.188.209.38) on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 07:54 pm:

I would vote for Lauryn Hill to play the young Mary Wilson!! After her twenties, Mary could play herself for decades! LOL She is such a beautifully ageless woman.

By stephanie (64.63.221.126) on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 09:13 pm:

FLO - Queen Latifah
DIANA - Robin Givens hands down I know she could play the diva
MARY - Kelly Rowland (if she can act)
CINDY - I dont know
Stephanie
Berry could be played by Cuba Gooding JR if he wants to do that part...LOL
Stephanie

By Vandelron (24.44.20.172) on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 09:17 pm:

Very true per Mary-from 29 on. Queen Latifah inspired. Vanessa Williams for Diana(30 on)(anyone see her in that VH1 Supremes-ish movie?);and yes Halle could do Mary. Lela Rechon for Cindy. Does everyone remember the original stars of Dreamgirls on Broadway?

By BigBabyJesus (152.163.188.68) on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 11:44 pm:

How about Leon as Diana, he gets to play all the singers, you know!

By ..... (207.241.96.10) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 12:11 am:

The fans can do their own movie.

By BigBabyJesus (152.163.188.68) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 01:22 am:

Who is gonna play Tony Turner? How about Tevin Campbell? LOL!

By dvdmike (65.208.234.61) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 07:12 am:

The original cast of Dreamgirls was Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Holiday, Loretta Devine, Debbie Burrell, Ben Harney and the late Larry Riley

By Marv (64.12.97.7) on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 - 11:34 pm:

Someone said that Busta Rhymes could play Ross, after all they do have similar hair styles LOL. Ok all kidding aside. I think Faith Evans would make a good Flo Ballard and Rhonda Ross should play her mother. Cindy Birdsong hmmmm..... maybe Beyonce Knowles, Jean Terrell, that's a hard one. I'll have to think about that one.
