I think I am in the minority when I say that Jennifer Hudson did not act in Dreamgirls. She sang people… completely different beast. If we are giving Oscars for singing then I nominate Christina Aguilera time and time again, but I don’t think she will be so I will now give up. However, my opinion is going to be put to the test as J-Hud has just been cast in the ensemble drama Winged Creatures joining the likes of Kate Beckinsale, Forest Whitaker, Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce, Jackie Earle Haley and Jeanne Tripplehorn.
The story follows the witnesses to a brutal murder suicide in a fast food restaurant as they cope with the aftermath of the incident and how they affect the people who help them along the way. Hudson will play Forest Whitaker’s daughter in the drama now shooting in Los Angeles.
The film is an adaptation of Roy Freirich’s debut novel being directed by Rowan Woods.
