Two Female 'Barbershop' Versions Being Made


Two competing indie films billing themselves as the female version of MGM's comedy Barbershop hope to hit theaters in the near future, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The first one by Warning Films' called Nora's Hair Salon with Jenifer Lewis in the title role, began production this week in Los Angeles with Jerry LaMothe directing a cast that also includes Tamala Jones, Tatyana Ali, Donn Swaby, recording artist Lil' J, R&B artist Bobby Brown and a cameo by rapper Lil' Kim.

Meanwhile, stand-up comedian Mo'Nique will star in UrbanWorks Entertainment's Beauty Shop for director Leslie Small. That project is due to begin shooting in May in and around Los Angeles.
