She doesnt have outwardly Negroid features Du! what better way to fight colorism than to get someone her damn color.. or end up her color..
Those chicks aint real Du.. she probably used more makeup and prosthetics to play the black woman lol
? leslie jones would have been better.. she can play the hell out of crazy..
Zoe aint even in the right weight class i bet she wore Whoopi wear the whole time

i'm hoping this black woman does a great job portraying this black icon, and wins a oscar next black history month for a trifecta of black excellence.......

C'mon, bruh. There had to be some kind of voice that went off in her head when they started putting that make up and nose on. That ? had to feel off in the back of her mind.
I bet she was extra nice to all the black people she was around. That "I'm guilty" kind of nice. Clinging to her dignity by a thread. -
Look at y'all.....
Don't make no sense.... Black history month is definitely over..... SMH -
The fact they had to spray paint her blacker is all u need to know. Sad

It should be about how ? of a casting choice this is but since the movie been announced in 2012 majority of the arguments I've seen against Zoe playing the role start with "she's says she's not black"...its personal towards her for a lot of people -
Bruh @DWO you trolling hard. Just say you dig Saldana as an actress or whatever but this casting was absolutely ? and insulting (Spike Lee's Bamboozled comes to mind)
And you make a point of the period the film captures of Simone's life (last 8 years).. perfect person to have played her in old age would have been Viola Davis -
I agree that they could've maybe found somebody else, BUT people love just throwing names out there. I would like to know who actually auditioned before just saying that so and so could've done it. I saw somebody say Lauryn Hill could've played her. Cmon now... The way ? been talking ? about Lauryn man.. If she would've gotten in there and stunk it up niggss would've been upset. You can't just pick a person because they look like somebody. Idris Elba did not look like Mandela. Will Smith didn't look like Ali. Jamie Foxx didn't look like Ray.

The fact that other actors don't look exactly like who they play in biopics ain't the point. In THIS case, so much of nina simone music was about how she looked as a dark skinned black woman and how she and others are treated for being dark and black. Choosing a light skinned woman is a slap in the face.
This reminds me of that cosby show episode where vanessa got married outa nowhere and brought dude home to her family. Cliff was like if a waiter brought you your favorite dish cooked to perfection on a garbage can lid, would you still eat that ? or find it appetizing? The ? might still taste amazing, but if the presentation is off you ain't even gon wana chance it.
Zoe may do a good job, she may not. Either way horrible casting and the ppl behind it clearly don't gaf about nina simone so why should i care about this movie? -
Ain't got no..
