Ew. The idea of Oprah Winfrey as an object of lust makes me want to revisit those Cheerios I had for breakfast. But throw in that squeaky voiced Terrence Howard and it'll take brain bleach to scrub the image from my mind. As Lee Daniels' The Paperboy hits theaters this weekend, Lee Daniels is putting the finishing touches on The Butler, and now a new image has emerged that I could have done without seeing.
The film tells the true story of Eugene Allen, an African-American who spent more than thirty years as the White House butler serving under eight Presidential administrations. Forest Whitaker stars as the titular civil rights figure, with Winfrey as his wife, who apparently tarts it up and gets busy with whoever the heck Howard plays in the film. The photo comes from Oprah's Twitter account, which I'm sure has a couple of random followers.
The Paperboy is such a disaster(review coming this Friday) that it has me worried whether Daniels is going to blow such an incredible real life story and impeccable cast. Hopefully the script co-written by Danny Strong(Game Change) can help cover up Daniels' stylistic inadequacies. David Oyelowo, Alan Rickman, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Lenny Kravitz, James Marsden, Minka Kelly, Robin Williams, Liev Schreiber, Liam Neeson, Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Redgrave, and more will co-star in The Butler when it arrives next year.
