Rico Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Almost Another Kathy Bates! Queen Latifah has revealed she almost stripped for the much-hyped love scene in Monster's Ball - to make-out with Robert De Niro. The rapper-turned-actress was slated to play the lead in the acclaimed 2001 movie - opposite De Niro and Sean Penn - until Halle Berry convinced director Marc Forster that she could play a struggling single mother, and Billy Bob Thornton and Heath Ledger took over De Niro and Penn's father and son roles. Berry became the first black actress ever to win a Best Actress Oscar for the role. Latifah, real name Dana Owens, says, "I actually had that role before Halle. But they couldn't set it up. It would have been me, Sean Penn and Robert De Niro."
Guest Guest Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 she isnt bad looking she is just big boned!
Cutting Drew With Dignity Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Looking for love in too many spaces.
Guffalo Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Somehow, that scene in her living room with Billy Bob would have to have been shot differently, maybe from high above, or from a much greater distance, I would think they would have to make sure they got all of her in the shot. In addition I would think that the insurance company would insist that Thorton's character have a board strapped across his arse to prevent him from falling in.
PastaJoe Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 It would have been me, Sean Penn and Robert De Niro. Well she's big enough to handle both at the same time. I've never seen the movie, is it worth renting?

billsfanone Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I would have had no reason to watch the movie.
dib Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 she isnt bad looking she is just big boned! 90911[/snapback] I wouldnt mind giving Halle Berry a big bone.
Alaska Darin Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Well she's big enough to handle both at the same time. I've never seen the movie, is it worth renting? 90927[/snapback] No. It's hard to believe the Academy even considered that a movie.
Fezmid Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 No. It's hard to believe the Academy even considered that a movie. 91131[/snapback] Agreed. The movie was lame... (BTW, thanks a lot for your sig; now I need to fire up some Queensryche). CW
