Black Girl Hollywood Watch : Thandie Newton & Jada P. Smith



Thandie Newton will be starring in Guy Ritchie's new film, "RocknRolla," which should hit theatres on September 5, 2008. The film is supposed to return Ritchie to his "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" roots.

director has returned to the world of dodgy dealers, shady scams and back-stabbing that made his name, with a story of a tale of Russian mobsters running amok in the Big Smoke.

Featuring Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton, Jeremy Piven and The Wire's Idris Elba amongst the cast
Hhhmmmm...Thandie and Gerard in the same film...oh my. Let's view the trailer:



What was Thandie doing towards the end and did it involve Gerard ? LOL Source



Jada Pinkett Smith is back on the big screen this fall in an all-star, all female cast. "The Women" hits the theatres September 12, 2008. This movie is a remake of the 1939 classic film of the same name, starring Joan Crawford and Joan Fontaine among others. There already seems to be some grumbling among purists who are not pleased that Jada and Eva Mendes are taking part in the "update" of the film.


The story centers on a group of gossipy, high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows. The sweet, happily-wedded Mary Haines finds her marriage in trouble when shop girl Crystal Allen gets her hooks into Mary's man. Naturally, this situation becomes the hot talk amongst Mary's catty friends, especially the scandalmonger Sylvia Fowler, who has little room to talk - she finds herself on a train to Reno and headed for divorce right after Mary.

Lets take a look at the trailer:



It's great to see an all female cast of such wonderful actresses. However, at first glance, it looks like Jada is relegated to the "quirky" side-kick role. Hhmmm...I'll have to keep my eye on this one.
