A friend of mine wrote this about The Nina Simone biopic that debuted at Cannes. "I was waiting for reviews to come out before writing this but I couldn't find any. Apparently it was only screened for distribution companies interested in buying the film -- this is a telling tale.
Viola Davis, Kimberly Elise, India Arie (who released a statement) and Mary J Blige are just a few actresses that many feel were more fitting to play the High Priestess of Soul. Since popular votes don't guarantee selection, the outcome is already a finished product starring Zoe Saldana".

Anyone have any more info about this?
What are your thoughts on this?
some say Nina's daughter would be a good choice
LOL
