Casting Wonderland! (All-Black 'Steel Magnolias' remake)

Whoah, you guys. I just saw today that Lifetime TV is doing a remake of Steel Magnolias, with a top-notch African-American female cast TO. DIE. FOR.

I mean, check this out:

Queen Latifah as M’Lynn (Sally Field's character in the first one)
Phylicia Rashad as Clairee (Olympia Dukakis)
Alfre Woodard as Ouiser (Shirley MacLaine)
Jill Scott as Truvy (Dolly Parton)
Adepero Oduye (a newcomer, making waves in the fantastic independent film "Pariah") as Annelle (Daryl Hannah)
Shelby, the part formerly played by Julia Roberts, is now being played by Condola Rashad, whose work I haven't seen, but who's currently on Smash.

I hope it's good. I hope it gets ALL THE RATINGS.
