Since we have over a year to go for the upcoming musical Dreamgirls starring
Jamie Foxx, Beyonce Knowles, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, Anika Noni Rose and Jennifer Hudson, we would have never guessed that a teaser for the film would be out before summer. However, this teaser is just that-- a teaser.
Dreamgirls Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer for Dreamgirls does nothing more than play some themed music, show off some sparkles, give a few names of the cast and then finishes with an impressive image similar to the one we posted above. Though I am not all that familiar with the story, the cast does look promising.
Based on the Tony Award-winning musical, Dreamgirls, set in the turbulent late 1960s and early '70s, follows the rise of a trio of women -- Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose) -- who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy). Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Though the Dreams become a cross-over phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined.
