Jennifer Hudson To Star In New Movie As Winnie Mandela
Oscar Award Winning Jennifer Hudson has just signed on to play Winnie Mandela in a new biopic about Winnie Mandela’s life.
South African film-maker Darrell J Roodt, whose film Yesterday was the country’s nominee for best foreign film at the 2006 Oscars, will direct Winnie, which starts shooting in May 2010.
Hudson, a former American Idol contestant who won her Oscar for a bravura supporting turn in the musical Dreamgirls, will take the lead role and is also expected to sing the theme song.
“I was compelled and moved when I read the script,” Hudson said. “Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I’m honoured to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”
This definitely will be a must see.
