Yesterday, comedian Mo’Nique appeared on Oprah and promoted her latest movie endeavor, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Saaphire. Now this isn’t the typical movie or role you’re used to seeing Mo’Nique in. Acclaimed out producer and director Lee Daniels is the mastermind behind this very important, moving and highly-anticipated film. Precious tells the story of a Harlem, overweight, illiterate teen named Precious who is the victim of incest and subsequent pregnancies given the chance to take her life in a new direction when she enrolls in an alternative school. Mo’Nique plays Precious’ mother in the movie. Mo’Nique actually won a best actor award at Sundance for her portrayal in this movie.

Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz, Sherri Shepherd, and newcomer Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe also appear in the film.

Lee Daniels is also responsible for the Oscar-winning film, Monster’s Ball.

I cannot wait to see Precious when it hits theaters!! It’s scheduled to hit November 6.

Check out the trailer for Precious after the jump…

We have to support our films. If you were a filmmaker, would you want your films bootlegged?

M_Boogie..you’re right then again think about it. Since we SUPPORT each other? That’s why they’re saying they’ll get it on bootleg. And we’re the first to blame WHITE america for our woes!

WOE IS US!
