The Secret Life Of Bees:Sophie Okonedo,Alicia Keys,Jennifer Hudson – Here are few pictures of Sophie Okonedo,Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys,Jennifer Hudson and Dakota Fanning promoting their new movie “The Secret Life of Bees”.”The Secret Life of Bees” was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood who also did “Love and Basketball”,and is based on the novel by author Sue Monk Kidd.Sophie Okonedo,who is a British/Jewish/African actress is getting rave reviews for her performance in the movie.Here is the synopsis of “The Secret Life of Bees”.
It is 1964, the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement, and young Lily (a charming Dakota Fanning, growing into her trademark precociousness) already carries a lot of emotional baggage. She accidentally killed her mother as a child and grew up on a peach farm with a harsh, unloving father whose idea of punishment involves the imaginative use of grits. British actor Paul Bettany plays the part of a Southerner quite well, becoming the South Carolina farmer down to his scowling drawl.Fortunately for Lily, she has a caring nanny to fill the love gap in her life: Rosaleen (Hudson, proving she’s still sassy). But when Rosaleen gets into a violent scuffle with racist townspeople, Lily ditches her abusive daddy and flees with Rosaleen to nearby Tiburon. The town holds a clue to Lily’s mother’s past-and thus, more filler for the gaping emotional hole in her life. The duo eventually comes upon the Boatwright sisters, three successful beekeepers who open their home to them. Each has her own defining quirks. There is sweet but depressed May (Sophie Okonedo), cold, stiff June (Keys) and motherly August (Queen Latifah).
“The Secret Life of Bees” hits theaters on October,17,2008.
