I’m actually lookin forward to seeing this. I don’t think Beyonce is gonna be the standout performance though, so they need to quit hyping her part up. I love throw back flicks. From the “5 Heartbeats” to “Ray”, movies about certain eras are irresistible! I’m sure the acting will be commendable as I’ve heard nothin but good things so far.
Is it just me or…It looks like GLITTER!
I’m a massive musicals fan, so you better believe I’m gonna go see Dreamgirls. Who’ll give the standout performance? My money is on Eddie Murphy. I read that he’s looking at a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, and I believe it. I also think J Hud is going to knock a lot of socks off. And who cares if it’s hyped as a Beyonce vehicle? If the other actors are better than she is, the audience will notice, and that’s really all that counts.
are you serious GP? because michael missed out on an early trailer for the film he suddenly thinks that all black entertainment is inferior and not worth mentioning?
Anyone who reads his posts would tell you that is not the case. It’s new on the apple site so its worth mentioning.
I can not wait for this movie! Am I the only one that is equally excited for J Hud and B? you don’t have to pick a side people!
Guys, I am actually glad Jennifer Hudson is barely even mentioned in the trailers.
Why?
While Beyonce gets all the hype and pre-release attention, I guarantee you it will be Hudson’s performance who will hit mainstream audiences like a ton of bricks.
The play has always been all about Effie…her story arc is just too powerful to deny and moviegoers who have never seen the musical and expect The Beyonce Show will never know what hit them…Just you wait…Hudson isn’t Jennifer Holliday, but I bet she will do justice to the famous song and, just like what happened to Holliday and the play, audiences will fall in love with Effie all over again, for the first time.
Oh, and Eddie Murphy?
Let’s just say that the Oscar committe will be blown away by what he does in this film, and they will atone for not giving him an Oscar for The Nutty Professor.
And Mr. Slezak, since you are so obviously smitten with the Bootylicious One, how’d you like her Janet rip-off performance at the VMAs? She shamelessly copied Britney Spears’ AMA performance! The way she swung down in the long coat, the leather undershorts, the black thigh-high boots, the way she got raised up on a platform at the end-all Britney! All Britney! Don’t you forget it! Search the Britney video archives if you didn’t see that performance…
Most of Beyonce’s wigs looked so fake!
I wish we could have at least heard Jennifer speak a line or something.
As a musical theater junkie and performer, I was thrilled when I heard that Dreamgirls was finally being made into a movie. Then I (as well as all my other theater junkie friends) gasped in HORROR when we learned Beyonce was casts for this awesome role. I believe she has neither the acting chops nor vocal subtlety to pull off this part. Watch Beyonce’s past acting roles and you can plainly see that she CANNOT act. And she more screams than sings on her albums. And her diction (both talking and singing) is horrible. I’m hoping the other cast members (particularly Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy) make up for what Beyonce is going to surely lack. I’m hoping the movie does the stage show justice because it’s special to a lot of people.
That isn’t the trailer. That was a commercial. The trailer won’t be out until October.

Being from Chicago I’m rooting for Jennifer Hudson. I didn’t watch AI when she was on there but I saw clips of her performing and I think she’s talented. However this is a film which requires ACTING and it seems people are really quick to get behind someone who has never acted before. I’ve never been impressed with Beyonce’s acting but having experience and being in a role that so resembles her life may work in her favor. I’d love to see Eddie Murphy finally recognized for his talent. He’s been in a lot of dreck recently so I’d be happy to see his talent shine again! I hope he brings it. To be honest I think he’s the only one who’ll be recognized for any major awards. But I’d love to be pleasantly surprised when I see the film.
I have my doubts about Beyonce, but Jennifer Hudson should have won AI, so here’s hoping she gets the strdom from this movie that she deserves
I think that Dreamgirls will probably turn out to be a great movie. As far as Beyonce, I think all of you should just quit finding reasons not to like her. Dreamgirls would not even remotely peak your interest if Beyonce’s name was not a headliner. Everybody deserves a chance to prove who they are and who are we to determine what is good or bad acting or good or bad singing unless you can carry a tune or read a script yourself. As far as I am concerned let Beyonce and the rest of the actors do their job and find somone other way to spend your time in life. Trying to degrade someone else only makes you seem like you have no self-esteem at all. No one and I mean no one is perfect!
