Mary J. Blige is ready to wade in the acting pool by taking on her biggest challenge yet - playing legendary songstress Nina Simone. Filming starts sometime this fall. Rumors had been swirling since 2005 that Blige was being considered for the role but the project fell through. It looks like this time everything is back on track and with a script by screenwriter Cynthia Mort who wrote it with Blige as an inspiration, this seems to be a done deal. MTV Films originally developed the idea but the film will now be produced by UK's Ealing Studios. Considering Blige has very little acting experience, it will be interesting to see the end result.
