The common thread to his films thus far is this - they are all great and they're all a bit dark. None of his films are feel good movies. Please don't go to see a Lee Daniels movie if you forgot to take you're Prozac. They're may be serious consequences. And from the looks of it Precious will hold true to form. If you're slightly depressed then this will not be the film for you.
Precious (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) is the story of young girl that has lived a very serious, very hard life. The movie will star Mariah Carey and Monique. And adding more stellar power to the credits Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey signed on as executive producers of the film. It is a film that I believe is shaping up to be one of Daniel's best. I can't wait til I have my ticket in hand for this one. If you have not seen the trailer please check it out here.
It's great to see Lee Daniels elevating his craft and becoming more and more of a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. I love the fact that he is achieving success in Tinseltown. A place where just recently it was stated you must be closeted in order to be on top. Well Daniels in on top of his game and as an out Black man that is amazing. He is a role model for me (and I'm sure for many others). Check out the Advocate interview here.

Wow, I wasn't aware that he is openly gay, good stuff, but, I'll have to skip that movie, just too depressing a topic and from what I've read, way too realistic.
I wish him luck in Hollywood, since we all know, it ain't easy being black and anything in the entertainment world there.
