"Michael Riedel: 'I'm also hearing that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been approached to play Stanley and Stella Kowalski in a revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, opening early next year.' (No conrracts have yet been signed.) The revival will be directed by Emily Mann and produced by Stephen Byrd, who presented the all-black 2007 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof starring James Earl Jones, Phylicia Rashad, Terrence Howard and Anika Noni Rose."
The all-black Cat on a Hit Tin Roof received good notices and did good business; I wish I had seen it. I think this is a good idea, too, even though Jada Pinkett Smith is an awful actress (I have seen her new television show on TNT.) Still, people, let's make it happen.
