Angela Bassett plays Amanda Waller

Why didn't they get CCH Pounder, who played her in the JLU ? she looked closer to the character , and she'd probably be cheaper!
wow this is interesting. Glad to see her, a very deserving actress,get the roe of such a powerful woman. Pounder would have been just as great.
*role*
I'm glad Bassett is working. The woman personifies dignity onscreen. But I too think CCH Pounder would've been a rather obvious choice. Even Pam Grier. Oh and if they make Angela put on weight, somebody will die!
Yeah, let's get one of the most beautiful and physically fit women in the world to play a hard ass whose personality and physique were described by the nickname "The Wall." Only in Hollywood could a Nell Carter type get played by Pam Grier, and now this...
I agree Frank. But that's all the more reason to create and produce our own. Never expect others to depict you in a light brighter than their own...
I do think CCH Pounder is a better to fit to what I'm used to but I'm willing to give Angela Bassett the benefit of the doubt. I'm a fan of both actresses.
excellent choice
She is beyond a doubt, an excellent actress, but I think the roll should be tackled by a full figured actress...What about Mo'nique?
What constitutes a “black” film? Does it merely include African American actors or must the plot center on the African American community and cultural themes? Join our discussion tonight on WGBH’s Basic Black where we will address these questions as well as the overall cultural significance of films and libraries. You can tune in to the conversation at 7:30 pm on Channel 2 in Boston or watch online at www.basicblack.org. You also have the opportunity to participate in a live online chat throughout the show!
I'd watch Angela Bassett in anything. You can't have too much "fine" in your life.
I think they probably cast her to give more star power to the role, but the woman can ACT, and I'd be willing to see how she handles it.
I always wanted her to be Storm
