According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, Beyonce is itching to play the lead role of Sister Deloris Van Cartier (played by Whoopi Goldberg) in a remake of the now classic Sister Act. The 1992 hit movie has since moved on as a musical stage version currently set to hit New York’s Broadway in 2010. The paper reports:

“Beyonce has asked her representatives to persuade Disney to develop the show into a film vehicle for her. If this comes to pass, she would take on, in musical form, the part Whoopi Goldberg creates in the 1992 ‘Sister Act’ film, although the stage version moves the action from the West Coast to Philadelphia.”

The remake wouldn’t be scheduled until 2011. This could actually be a good move for Beyonce although Whoopi has one thing B has yet to develop….strong comedic timing. If anyone wants to argue with me on that then bring it. No…Obsessed was not a comedy. Via: DrewReports
