Black in Period Films

Kat Graham has been casted to play Tammi Terrell. Tammi Terrell is a talented singer that lived a rather tragic life. Tammi Terrell is most known for her classic duets with friend Marvin Gaye : Ain't No Mountain High Enough and You're All I Need to Get By. From what I've seen from Kat I believe that she will be able to carry the emotion that is sure to come with a Tammi Terrell biopic. What do you think about this casting?

                                                              What do you all think?             I talked about the film previously here . It was originally called Something Whispered.

                                                            Ruth Negga as Mildred Loving My only main concern are the accents. They have very thick Virginia accents. Neither Negga nor Joel Edgerton (who is going to be playing Richard Loving) are from Virginia. I've watched a lot of footage of the Loving family and one thing that always stood out to me was the warm of their accents. I hope we can get that in the film. But other than that I am excited to see how they go about telling their historic story.
