Jennifer Hudson has signed on to star in Winnie, a biopic about Nelson Mandela’s former wife.
The film will follow her whole life, and Hudson will be singing the movie’s theme song as well.
“I was compelled and moved when I read the script,” the Academy Award winner recently said. “Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I’m honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told.”
Production begins May 30. With Hudson in the lead, the flick already sounds like Oscar material.
