Looks like the Hip-Hop version of the musical classic stinks. SONY Pictures now has more to worry about besides hacked computer servers. The movie is going to be buried by the final Hobbit movie and probably the third Night at the Museum movie. I remember growing up they tried to make a let us say an urban version of the Wizard of Oz and despite some great musical talent that movie bombed too.

On halloween night at midnight, if you look into a bathroom mirror and say “Black Annie” “Black Annie” “Black Annie” you can see hollywood profits take a huge fall.

I’m ready for Disney to do a remake of “Song of the South” that won’t “offend” anybody with a white guy as Uncle Remus. I imagine we’d still see a lot of whining and tantrums from people complaining that white guys can’t sing.

Probably best it was filmed before ferguson so they could insert some sort of protest scene, like a musical number called “gentle giant” or “I can’t breathe”...
“I can’t breathe,
White mans got me!
He say I’m guilty of a fe-lo-ny...”
Take it rich white guy warbucks...

There was once a delightful little stage play called THE WIZ.
Then “they” turned it into a major movie with pimps and hos designed to appeal to Ghetto kids.

Some remakes just don’t need to be made, because they don’t bring anything new or worth keeping to the table. It’s a big expensive gamble to make such a movie. Surly the actors could see how this was or was not coming together, but some directors refuse to listen to their actors. Alfred Hitchcock often came close to saying that he treated actors like sheep and cattle.

That was the movie I remember. I forget it some success on stage.

Movies made around all black actors are generally boring. The jokes I don't get - the references to something that only blacks would understand are lost on me.
I watched "The Meteor Man" the other day. It was pretty funny. Stupid but funny at times. It was an all black cast attempt at a superhero parody.
