Judging by the trailer, some folks are thinking that this is the Black
version of 'Fatal Attraction,' the film which starred Michael Douglas and Glenn
Close. Would you agree?
I think two things. One, I don't mind the 'Fatal Attraction' comparison at
all because that film is the gold standard of a sexy adult thriller. They set
the bar. With this film, we have some surprises and twists that that film didn't
have, but it's also in the same vein. In terms of being the Black 'Fatal
Attraction,' honestly, I don't look at this as a Black film. I love the fact
that it has two African Americans in the lead; and I love the fact that it
revolves around them and their family life. For the most part, they are the only
African Americans in the movie. It's about Idris Elba, who works at a very, very
lily white asset management firm and Beyonce is a homemaker. Everyone else in
the film is White. It's not like I was out to make a White film, but I also
wasn't looking to make a Black film. I wanted to make a really good film that
had Black faces in it.More at Aol Blackvoices: http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2009/04/21/producer-will-packer-talks-obsessed-beyonce-and-stomp-the-y/
