Wow, this looks like it might be good. Sean Combs certainly ain’t the best actor in the world but if he’s willing to use his power and resources to revitalize this story, then I say more power to him! As someone noted earlier, maybe a new generation will discover this wonderful story (no reason to believe they’d dial up Sidney’s version).

I saw a screening last summer. Raisin’s always a good story, and the Diddy version will hopefully introduce the Hansberry’s play to a new generation. BUT, sorry to report, it doesn’t touch the original. Only one who gets my props were Phylicia Rashaad and Audra McDonald. John Stamos as the racist neighbor just wasn’t believable.

I loved the orginal play, so I hope that can do it justice and not change too much from the original version. I agree with those they say trained actors do not get a chance b/c of celebrities,however what most ppl don’t know is that when big time celebrities have ideas for pictures a lot of times it’s hard to get funding from production companies unless they agree to play a part in the movie.

For exmaple- The movie that Denzel produced and I believed directed- I can’t remember the name but it was the black kid that was in the navy trying to find his mother- Anywayz even Denzel said that he wanted all no name actors in the film but in order to get financial backing he had to play a part in the film.

I’ll most def watch. Diddy needs work though. He’s not convincing enough.
