IDRIS ELBA TO PLAY NELSON MANDELA IN NEW BIOPIC

February 23, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

It has been confirmed that award-winning British actor Idris Elba will play Nelson Mandela in the up and coming biopic Long Walk To Freedom.

The film will chronicle Mandela’s early life and the 27 years he spent in prison.

There is no stopping Idris! Congratulations.

    So I am the only who likes seeing movies with actors and actresses who look like the person they are playing….

    I don’t see Idris as Nelson Mandlea at all, like I didn’t see Terence Howard as Nelson Mandela.

    But Idris might suprised me since Sophie Ekondo ( spelling?) did a brilliant job as Winnie.
