Beyonce Lands Another Movie Role
It seems Beyonce is really legit with her acting ambitions. Following the news that she will be playing legend Etta James in ‘Cadillac Cars’, it was, today, announced that she will be starring in another film alongside Idris Elba (of ‘The Wire’ fame) called ‘Obsessed’:Steve Shill will direct a script by David Loughery. Will Packer produces, and Knowles will be exec producer along with her father, Mathew Knowles.
In “Obsessed,” Elba will play an asset manager who has a knockout wife (Knowles) and thriving career until a temp office worker (Larter) begins stalking him. {Read More}
Granted Beyonce’s acting talents often leave a lot to be desired (See: ‘Goldmember’, ‘Pink Panther’), I’m anxious to see if she can pull this off. To date, the only convincing character I’ve seen her portray well was Deena in ‘Dreamgirls’ – no guesses for why there. Still, I can’t knock her hustle.
Any thoughts?

I really wanna see her get her ACT on, as her other roles have been music-orientated. This role seems like it’ll reveal a lot about what Bey can do on the acting tip.
