@Sam To say Loretta Devine needs the money I think you need to go back and do your homework. Loretta Devine is one of the few black actresses in Hollywood that has continuously worked since the late 70's early 80's. She has done Broadway, Film and T.V. though I'm sure if it happens she would want to do the film I doubt she is starved out for a sequel to Waiting to Exhale !!! I personally don't think it should be done now and definitely NOT a recast.
