Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson to Star in ‘Winnie Mandela’ (Video)
So there is a Winnie Mandela film coming. Jennifer Hudson is playing Winnie… and playing her husband Nelson… NOT Idris Elba (who stars in ‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ – which we posted on here a while ago). In ‘Winnie Mandela,’ Nelson Mandela will be played by Terrence Howard. Winnie is set for U.S. release on September 6, 2013. The film originally premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2011 and was released in Canada October 2012 (with little fanfare). This time, around the same time as ‘Long Walk To Freedom,’ the ‘Winnie Mandela’ release will hopefully do better.
