‘The Best Man Holiday’ Cast Covers EBONY

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Black films have changed a lot since movies such as “The Best Man” reigned at the box office, and nowadays black movies aren’t as plentiful as many feel they should be. Black actors and actresses have been vocal in their disappointment in the lack of black movies making their way to the theaters, and so far Tyler Perry seems to be one of the only black movie makers able to consistently produce hit films at the box office. However, the “Best Man” cast will make their return to the box office and it’s been confirmed that a sequel to the hit movie will make its way back to the big screen nationally this Holiday season.

The film which has been titled “The Best Man Holiday” is set to hit theaters on November 15. The official synopsis of the movie reads:

After nearly 15 years apart, Taye Diggs (television’s Murder in the First), Nia Long (Soul Food), 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 Best Man Holiday, the long-awaited 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. Malcolm D. Lee returns to write and direct this sequel to his directorial debut. Sean Daniel (The Mummy franchise) produces alongside Lee for The Sean Daniel Company.
