So do I...C'Mon, I can't be the only one to remember the previews. I was really looking forward to borrowing the bootleg from my sister. But seriously, what happened to this movie? It was supposed to be released in 2008. Well, FreddyO.com has some answers.
"I was told the reason that the film had taken so long to come out is partly because of paper work issues.. One of the stars changed management and had to work out legal issues before her image could be released… I was also told that the director didn’t like many of the scenes after reviewing them for editing… The Film will run at the Urbanworld Film Festival from Sept. 23 through Sept. 27. I was also told that after doing the run, depending on the public’s reaction the film will either go to limited theaters OR will air on BET..."
Can't say I am mad. . .now I don't have to feel bad for not spending money to support a black (probably mediocre) movie! I can't just watch it on BET with the rest of the black (mediocre) films and shows.
Here's a little history about "Mama I Wanna Sing":
This film is based on the hit off-Broadway stage play by Vy Higginsen. It was loosely based on the career of her late sister, R&B vocalist Doris Troy, whose big hit was 1963’s ‘Just One Look.’ The musical ran for eight years at Harlem’s Heckscher Theater, making it the longest-running off-Broadway black theater musical in history.
