‘Mama, I Want to Sing!’ Movie Trailer
Mama, I Want to Sing! is coming soon. Not quite sure of the release date but the trailer looks great! The film has an all-star cast: Platinum Recording Artist Ciara, Hill Harper, Billy Zane, Emmy Award© Winner Lynn Whitfield, and Grammy Award Winner© Patti LaBelle. I’m always supportive and excited to see positive films by African-Americans.
By the way, I also spotted Ben Vereen in the trailer and I heard Juanita Bynum is in it. I’d watch the movie just to see what role Juanita plays…lol. I will update when I find out the release date. You guys support it. The whole pre-production, production, post-production and marketing of a film is NO EASY TASK!
Plot: Inspired by the hit off-Broadway play, Amara Winter, a strikingly beautiful and charismatic young singer, is on the verge of pop stardom.
