One of the first new hip-hop acts I interviewed before an album came out back in 2004. She is now an actress. I will be interviewing her again soon about her new upcoming movie "Mama, I want to sing."Sad to say that the movie is going straight to DVD in 2009. For reasons not expounded on, singer Ciara revealed to Billboard magazine earlier this month that her new movie, Mama I Want To Sing, will not be hitting theater screens later this year, but rather will be going straight to DVD in early 2009. If you all remember, jaws dropped when news spread that the dance diva was cast in the starring role and even more questions were raised when the only clip from the movie to be released did not feature Ciara and had the title song being sung by another singer.
If this news is true, (IMDB still has October 10th. 2008 listed as the release date) it is truly sad because outside of Ciara, the casting for this movie, which included Lynne Whitfield, Hill Harper, and Billy Zane, was truly spectacular. If you haven’t seen the trailer for the film yet you can view it here, and the few photos that were released from the set can be seen here.
