It’s all about true love – not only for the Obamas, but also for the media.
“The White House legend that is Barack and Michelle Obama’s romance is heading to the screen,” reported Deadline’s Jen Yamato on Dec. 5. The drama, “Southside With You,” will detail the Obama couple’s “epic first date” the summer of 1989 – consisting of the Art Institute, a long walk, and Spike Lee’s “Do The Right Thing.”
In July 2015, the filming will begin where their romance blossomed: Chicago. “Get On Up” actress Tika Sumpter will star as Michelle Obama – but the real question is, as Yamato asked, “who will play young Barack?”
Allain’s Homegrown Pictures producer Tracey Bing gushed with excitement for the “smart and timeless film” on “one of the great love stories of our time.” She hyped how screenplay writer Richard Tanne “captures the essence of that romantic connection between Barack and Michelle that is so evident in the way that they look at each other.” Yuck.
In the meantime, she said, “We are looking forward to finding the perfect Barack.”
Not a new feat for a couple also boasting a “romance” with the media.
Title: “Pure Fiction”
Who will play Reggie? (or his counterpart in the period)
maybe they should cast reggie love..as young barack
was this a PARODY/SATIRE thread...
You couldn’t pay me enough to go see it.
What about Barry's first love?
Starring Denzel Washington and Queen Latifah?
I’ll pass.
The story is ambiguous: is their romance a legend, or is it a legend that they have a romance? Obama seems to be VERY into gay stuff.
Lucifer and Jezebel.
Oh geese.
They don’t even look at each other!
What great romance? I don’t see it.
Wonder who’s going to play:
Reggie Love
Jeremiah Wright
Larry Sinclair
Who will play Obama? Us Robert Mugabe available?
I doubt it will get many viewers. Neither POTUS or FLOTUS are very popular now.
Tika Sumter is one hell of a beautiful woman...
But, why not give the role to Paula Patton? She’s stunning as well.
Tax Payer Funded ?
Should go over big when it hits the fans.
Oh.My.God. They are SO full of themselves. This kind of arrogance really should trigger self-implosion or spontaneous human combustion.
They have so MUCH to share with us about their little Scamelot - the royals who take their vaycays separately on their personal 747’s...
On opening night, I’ll...rush to miss it. I’m sure it’ll do well.
Who was that actor who played the Devil in the Bible miniseries? I wonder if he needs the work?
