Beyonce Knowles is ‘Obsessed’

Beyonce Knowles’ next film “Obsessed” will take the star in a more dramatic direction than any project in her previous body of work. No singing and dancing, just acting.
Although the film’s trailer hit the internet a few months back, I decided to revisit it after being reminded by friends that the sexy Idris Elba co-stars in the film. I’ll share my Elba encounter in a moment. (Talk about sexy chocolate!)

“Obsessed” tells the story of the successful career of asset manager Derek (Idris Elba), beautiful wife Beth (Beyonce) and their son. They are put in jeopardy when temp worker Lisa (Ali Larter) starts to stalk Derek.

Apparently there’s a lot of girl-on-girl fighting in the film.

”We did look at girl fights on YouTube,” says director Steve Shill of his research for the film. ”There’s a lot of hair pulling, shouting, and rolling around on the ground. We didn’t really want to do that.”

I plan on checking out this film because Idris Elba is an actor that makes my heart pitter-patter. A few months ago I was having a drink at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills with a few friends. When Idris walked in, I damn near broke my neck trying to ‘casually’ glance at him. (It was pretty funny.)

“Obsessed” hits theatres April 24, 2009.
