It was recently confirmed that a sequel to The Best Man is in the works. This news of course has many people excited for the state of black films, especially since black actors are nabbing more starring roles on the small screen and proving that they can be major characters and still bring in the ratings (Scandal). The Best Man is a movie that easily proves that there can be quality black films, and the director of the film Malcolm D. Lee hopes to do it again and repeat the success again with the second installment.
The statement regarding the sequel reads:
After nearly 15 years apart, Taye Diggs (television’s Private Practice), Nia Long (Big Momma’s House), Morris Chestnut (Kick-A*s 2), Harold Perrineau (Zero Dark Thirty), Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow), Sanaa Lathan (Contagion), Monica Calhoun (Love & Basketball), Melissa De Sousa (Miss Congeniality) and Regina Hall (Scary Movie franchise) reprise their career-launching roles in the next chapter to the film that ushered in a new era of comedy. When the college friends finally reunite over the Christmas holidays, they will discover just how easy it is for long-forgotten rivalries and romances to be ignited.
Actor Terrence Howard recently revealed a few details on the plot of The Best Man 2, and confirmed there will be a tragedy.
He says:
“I think it’s going to be amazing film and I get teary-eyed thinking about it because there’s some tragedy in it. That’s all I’ll say.”
Why do we get the feeling that one of the major characters is going to kick the bucket?
The movie which is currently titled The Best Man Holiday is set to release November 15, 2013.
Uh oh. Please don’t tell me I’m going to be crying in the theater. ;-(
That’s what it sounds like.
Oh yeah…somebody is getting killed off. Why am I nervous already? lol
I can’t stand deaths in movies! I take it so hard sometimes, especially when I like the character. I guess I better prepare myself for it now then.
Oh no! I wonder who it’s going to be. I hope it won’t be Morris Chestnut’s fine behind…
LOL.
Just don’t ruin this movie!!!!
I hope they don’t mess up a classic black film…
Me either girl.
I am so stoked about this movie! I can still watch The Best Man now and enjoy it like the first time I watched it. I’m glad the quality black films are slowly starting to come back. We need them.
Now all we need is a part 2 to Baller Blockin! (Joking an Lmao!)
