Members London Posted June 22, 2016 Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) They FINALLY released the trailer for the highly anticipated series from Ava DuVernay & Oprah Winfrey, Queen Sugar... last night during the premiere for Greenleaf. I am so ready for this show, Thanks to Ang (ChitHappens).for telling me about this back when the GL thread was initially started. I'm going to try and read the book before the series starts this fall. This is ALSO not from Tyler Perry and the (I keep using this phrase) visually stunning trailer shows you that.If the video from FaceBook doesn't work, then click here.

Members Khan Posted June 22, 2016 Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) I think Oprah is kicking Miss Perry to the metaphorical curb with these new series. She used him to salvage her network and draw an audience, and now that that's been accomplished, it's bye-bye time for ol' Madea.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 22, 2016 Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 I guess that's why TP's new show (starring Kelly Sullivan) is on TLC. I guess he is starting to find a new home for his projects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted June 22, 2016 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 He better. Because it is TRULY sad when you see the production style of both Greenleaf and Queen Sugar and then you... just have... Tyler Perry comedies and dramas... ... ... ... ... Yeah.EXACTLY Khan! I was thinking, Oprah ain't playing! She is coming out strong and heavy hittin' a la the great Ali. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 22, 2016 Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) TLC, huh? Yep. "Tyla" will fit right in with "My 600-lb Life" and "Sex Brought Me to the E.R." Edited June 22, 2016 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members London Posted June 22, 2016 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) LOL! His show has Heather Locklear too.So... I guess Ava couldn't direct all of the episodes as it was initially planned but like a BOSS, she's hand-picked some pretty awesome women to direct the other episodes. I guess this is the breakdown of how it will go. http://i.imgur.com/UELlfKJ The directors of Queen SugarEp 01 & 02 - Ava DuVernayEp 03 - Neema BarnetteEp 04 - So Yong KimEp 05 - Victoria MahoneyEp 06 - Tanya HamiltonEp 07 - Neema Barnette Ep 08 & 09- Kat Candler Ep 10 & 11 - Salli RichardsonEp 12 & 13 Tina Mabry Edited June 23, 2016 by London 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 23, 2016 Members Share Posted June 23, 2016 I actually feel sorry for Heather. Even a gig with the Hallmark Channel Repertory Company would be better than trying to bring Tyler Perry's racist and misogynistic trash to life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 23, 2016 Members Share Posted June 23, 2016 Rutina Wesley was an unbelievable revelation on Hannibal, and DuVernay is a singular voice. I can't wait for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted July 25, 2016 Members Share Posted July 25, 2016 Is Ava the Writer/EP for this show? I love that she's giving women (especially those of color) opportunities behind the camera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted July 25, 2016 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes, she is. She was supposed to direct all the episodes but I think it wound up conflicting with another project she attached herself to and that's when she did her boss move and brought in all women to help direct the show. Gotta love it when Hollywood says that "There are no women directors..." out there and Ava proves them wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
