Queen Latifah and Paula Patton are putting aside the controversy surrounding the Nina Simone biopic, Nina, and waiting to see how Zoe Saldana does in the title role. While critics say it was wrong of producers to cast a lighter-skinned actress to portray Simone, who celebrated her dark skin and traditionally African features, Latifah and Patton are reserving judgment until the film's release next month. Latifah said at the premiere of The Perfect Match, "And you know she is of African descent. I don't see why she shouldn't get to play the role, you know. But I just want to see it ? you know, get rid of the hype and let's go watch the movie." Patton also commented on the casting, defending Saldana by stating, "Clearly someone thought she was perfect for it. She's an amazing actress, she's beautiful and you haven't even given her a chance and you haven't seen it yet..."
