Hey Ya'll,
Have ya'll heard of any books by black authors that will become movies in the next couple of years? I heard a rumor about The Coldest Winter Ever becoming a movie a few years ago. Any others? |

I just ran across this information: In an upcoming Hollywood rags-to-riches story, Will Smith portrays a homeless man who struggles to raise his toddler son and jumpstart a career. He succeeds, not only at single fatherhood, but also at business, founding a multi-million-dollar brokerage firm. This is no fairy tale. The movie is based on "The Pursuit of Happiness" a book by Chris Gardner, a black man who refused to give up.

Addicted will be out next spring, produced by Suzanne de Passe/Zane Entertainment and Lionsgate Films. The trailers will run on Tyler Perry's next film at the end of February and the movie will be released 4-6 weeks later.
Blessings,

That's great for both movies. Someone just sent me a trailer for the Will Smith movie. I'll look forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.

There was a big buzz about Erica Kennedy's Bling, to be released by Miramax but I haven't heard much about it lately. Enjoyed the book though!
I also saw The Pursuit of Happyness at the bookstore a few weeks ago, seems like a very moving story. |

Third Girl From the Left by Martha Southgate was also optioned by Washington Square Films.
This is another WONDERFUL book!! I haven't heard anything about it. I guess so many projects fall short. This was suppose to start filming by this summer to be released at the end of the year.

Tananarive Due's My Soul To Keep (another WONDERFUL book) is either in production or has already been filmed by Blair Underwood. Don't know what ever happened to it.

Walter Mosley will have another movie, Little Scarlet with Jeffrey Wright playing Easy Rawlins and Mos Def playing Mouse. Can't wait to see it. Zane |
