Dreamgirls Set to Find Success Overseas
Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, and Anika Noni Rose's performance at the Academy Awards of songs from their hit movie, Dreamgirls, might be just what it takes to find success overseas. The nearly all-Black cast is set to determine whether the recent overseas success of movies relying on Black stars is a fleeting or lasting trend.
“In the old days, they told you Black films don’t travel down South. Now they say it’s not going to travel overseas," says entertainment president of BET Networks, Reginald Hudlin. Hopefully, Dreamgirls has what it takes to break down these barriers and carry Black performers to even greater heights both here and abroad.
