Simone Estate to Zoe Saldana: 'Take Nina's Name Out Your Mouth'
It seems that Zoe Saldana being casted as Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic Nina, a film about the singer's turbulent time with mental illness and racism, has invoked the ire of the Simone estate. After a tweet from Saldana offering up a sentiment of having "no fear," Ms. Simone's verified Twitter account retorted ferociously, saying, 'take Nina's name out your mouth." New Trailer Depicts Zoe Saldana and Ms. Simone in 'Nina' Biopic
With a documentary about her having been nominated for an Academy Award, Nina Simone will now be paid tribute in the form of a biopic starring Zoe Saldana as the mentally unstable jazz singer. Entitled "Nina," the film hits theaters April 22 and a trailer for the movie has (finally) surfaced.
