Wow, I'm glad my original post started a very good discussion. I just hope Usher, good God, is not going to play Sam.

I still think Wesley Jonathan with a little work can pull it off,but I like the Chiwetel (sp?) guy too.

I think Barbara should be Bianca Lawson (played Diana Ross in the temptations)

no no no no not bianca.shes too dianayou need somebody like angelea basset(even tho shes too old)because barbara is a strong willed person and bianca always plays the roles of the person that nobody likes,bianca could play the role of delores(maybe).

I'm glad someone mentioned William James Jones. I have always wanted him to play Sam. Now he would perfect with a capital P. Wesley Jonathan is a second choice. Sam had a gorgeous smile, looked good in sweaters, and there was something about his personality that made him seem lik5b4e a perfect gentleman. I really hope William James Jones is picked.

ABKCO just announced that they finalized the script based on Guralnick's book and all they're looking for now is a "star" and a director.

I hope they are not planning on casting any current R&B singers. Meaning Chris Brown or Trey Songz. NO! NO! and NO!
Anyway, I already had my dream cast in mind.
"Mr. Soul" directed by Michael Man
Sam = Anthony Mackie/ Columbus Short I cant choose
Lisa = Kirsten Kreuk
Bertha = La Tanya Richardson
Barbara = Jurnee Smollett
