DreamWorks has alerted us that they have updated the official site for their upcoming musical Dreamgirls with new goodies including a new clip of the song "Patience".
Dreamgirls Music: "Patience"
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.
Once you arrive at the official site for Dreamgirls you may find yourself with no place to go. The first thing you want to do is not panic, as you have to select which theme/character you want to view the site through. Click there, queue music, and all the latest options become available.
The official site now offers new video, new production photos, a sample of the track "Patience", wallpapers and other downloads. Even with the flash menus, the site is pretty easy to navigate. Once you get into it that is.
The new music clip sounds nice, but it is so short that you may want to hang yourself after hearing it a dozen-plus times.
Dreamgirls opens to theatres on December 25th.
For the trailers, video journals, featurette and full synopsis, go to the Dreamgirls Movie Page.
