Queen Latifah: Life Support

Queen Latifah shines in Life Support, the HBO Film’s story of how a former drug addict replaces her passion for drugs with becoming an activist for others. In this exclusive behind the scenes interview with Queen Latifah and Director Nelson George, Queen Latifah delves into her character’s inspiration and how the story hits close to home.

“THIS DISEASE AIN’T NO JOKE. AND I’M NOT GOING TO SHUT UP ABOUT IT. I DON’T CARE IF YALL DON’T CARE. IF YALL STOP DYING, I’LL STOP TALKING ABOUT. IN THE MEAN TIME, GOT TO USE YOUR HEADS SISTERS.”

NELSON GEORGE
Life support is based on my family story and the characters are based on my sister, my mother, even based on a couple of my nieces.

QUEEN LATIFAH
A lot of this was like an urban slice of life, you know, and I can relate to a second hand story in a redemption thing. Before her passion might have been drugs but with that passion being removed, that passion went from drugs to preventing drugs and to being an activist and to being a mother. She’s kind of the same person.

NELSON GEORGE
Four or five years ago when I first got the idea to do the film, I really centered it around my sister’s story. I followed her around for a month or two.

NELSON GEORGE
This one event. Everyone on the roof had red balloons, said the name of someone who died and released them.

QUEEN LATIFAH
Andrea and her team are on the front lines of trying to stop people from getting infected with HIV. They know what young people are saying and how they respond to birth control and protection.

When I read the script, it felt like a lot of things I’d seen and experienced.

NELSON GEORGE
When I met her to sit down and talk about the script, she knew the streets that I was talking about in the script. She knew this world, and she knew characters like my sister.

NELSON GEORGE
Though she’s really playful, Latifah’s really dug into some barriers and created some indellible moments, showing both strief and anger.

It’s been interesting to shoot because it’s so much family

QUEEN LATIFAH
This film has taken me through a roller coaster so far because it’s not the terrifying epidemic it was in the mid 80s. It’s like it’s yesterday’s news for a lot of people but it’s not yesterday’s news.

NELSON GEORGE
It’s a big problem today. It’s killing lots of people; it’s altering lives, and it’s preventable. And I’m hoping through this film, we open the dialogue about what’s going on here.



QUEEN LATIFAH
Life Support is based on life force as an outreach agency. And they go in and talk to different communities. It’s rough what they have to go through just to make sure they’ll continue to be funded to save lives.

VMA Coverage

by Dave Kilgo


The VMA's kept their reputation this weekend as a water cooler favorite. I'm not sure if this was because of the unusual amount of controversy but it is definitely being talked about. One thing stood out among all the controversy. This was something people had been dying to witness ever since it was announced. There was also concern that because it's been so long since the one before, is it really a good idea? Not to mention the star has aged profusely since their last performance and could be out of shape.

I am of course talking about the announcement of a new Indiana Jones sequel. It will be called "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I can't imagine how well a crystal skull can manage a kingdom but more power to it.

It's exciting to think about George Lucas' other franchise coming back for another round, but it's also an iffy situation. Don't get me wrong, I am a "die hard" Indiana Jones fan and very excited that something new is coming. Casting Shia Lebeouf (Translation: The Beouf) was a wise pick as Jones' predecessor. It's always economical for a company to use a person they legally bought years ago. Cate Blanchett was also a good choice; I can now assume that given the year this takes place, his new love interest will be Katherine Hepburn or if they're going for more of a fantasy element, Queen Elizabeth. Its definitely a shame that Sean Connery won't be coming back as Indie's dad, but perhaps he's gotten on the bandwagon as well and went off to reprise his role as James Bond (Bond... Gold Bond). Harrison Ford is one of my favorite actors of all time, but it can't feel vital to be playing his dad.

Here's what concerns me though; a big trend right now, other than tepid remakes, is bringing back franchises from past decades. All the CGI in the world can't hide the fact that our action stars have gotten a little older. We've already seen John Mcclain, Rocky Balboa (Rambo is coming) and the Terminator come back. Of the three, I would have to say Willis was the best one, and I think it's because at 52, he's almost 10 years younger than Sly or Arnie. Harrison Ford is 65, so we'll see how that goes. Though our action stars are getting up there, I would much rather see them fighting an imperial walker with... a walker before seeing someone replace them. Bruce Willis was the last choice to play in Die Hard because at the time he was a sitcom star, imagine picking Danny Tanner. Despite all of that, he made John Mcclain a rough neck 90's icon. Harrison Ford wasn't Spielberg's first choice either but can you imagine Tom Selleck as Indie? If these guys think they have another action movie in them, by all means. I'll usually be glad to see it. I'm a firm believer in the cliché, "you're only as old as you feel" from what it looks like, Ford is feeling about 24. Not to mention, Lucas and Spielberg are teaming up again, so I'm not expecting a bad film. Though I love the classics, I am hoping we take the time to create a new action icon before these guys decide to retire. I'm looking at you, Brad Garrett.
