FILE PHOTO: Actress Zoe Saldana To Play Nina Simone In Biopic Role

Director of The Amazing Nina Simone Jeff Lieberman has a few things to say about Zoe Saldana‘s portrayal in the upcoming biopic, Nina.

On a guest column on The Hollywood Reporter, the director criticizes Robert L. Johnson, founder of the company releasing the film, RLJ Entertainment. “Robert Johnson’s defense of his film Nina was not only insulting, it was 100% wrong.
