The Wayans Brothers Do the Hilton Sisters

Casting: "Busy Philipps and Maitland Ward will star opposite Marlon and Shawn Wayans in Revolution Studios' comedy 'White Chicks,' directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. The movie, produced by the Wayans along with Rick Alvarez and Lee Mayes, begins filming in Vancouver, Canada, on Oct. 19. The film, which is written by the Wayans, tells the story of two black police officers who must go undercover in the Hamptons as two Caucasian socialites. Ward and the already cast Anne Dudek play socialite sisters and heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilton; Philipps portrays their best friend who is always wearing clothes three sizes too small for her." - Hollywood Reporter

Plot: "After messing up a major drug bust in New York City, two African American FBI agents (who are also brothers), Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Shawn and Marlon Wayans), try to impress their boss by volunteering to protect the Wilton Sisters, Tiffany (Dudek) and Brittany, the heiresses of a hotel empire, from a kidnapping scheme during a short trip from JFK to the Hamptons. Deciding to change the strategy drastically, the brothers use themselves as bait, wearing lots of pale makeup and dresses to pass as the Wilton sisters, while the real sisters are hidden away, safe from harm. Now, the agents just have to convince the world (including their coworkers who are now protecting *them* and the Wiltons' friends and family) that they're actually young, rich, white heiresses. Shenanigans and misunderstandings surely ensue." - Greg's Upcoming Movie Previews

Obviously, we are in hell. It's the only possible explanation.

will someone please stop giving the wayans brothers money to make movies. and stop asking them to host any kind of event. they are not funny. please call dave chappelle and bill cosby, young cop, old cop.

HA, when their movies stop grossing over $100 million each, they'll stop. Those brothas are fun-ny.

Are there any more Wayans on the way? I fear a Culkin outcome - wherein the money-hungry parents keep churning out new ones so the gravy train keeps running.

Seriously, am I the only man in the world who finds the Hilton sisters to be grotesque? The only thing that could possibly make these two girls attractive (admittedly Paris' sister is slightly more attractive) is the money and that's not even theirs yet.

i luvs the dave chapelle, esp. when seated next to conan. those two should do a space balls cum blazin saddles pic.

Could someone please wake me when this millenium is over? Or at least once the Hilton sisters have done somehting that actually merits press attention.

That's a joke right?

That's the worst desription of any film ever.....including Juanna Mann.

Marlon is actually a pretty good actor (see Requiem for a Dream) but Shawn is hopeless. Can't do comedy, has no presence, boring looking. He'll bring the picture, which is alrady in the gutter before it's even been shot, all the way out the other side of the planet.

is it my imagination or is there an all white national hate campaign against the wayans, who are just trying to make a living doing what they
enjoy, which is what everyone should aspire to?!?
i mean the first poster says "we are in hell?" and the next guy says "somebody please stop giving them money?" you guys should be ashamed for resorting to bigotry instead of doing your own thing. you arent in hell(unless hell for you is skilled blacks winning in Hollywood...)arent these the same guys who helped the 1st two scary movies to be major hits? enuff with the racism already. get a life. stop crying white boy..

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WRITING HATE ABOUT THE HILTON SISTERS ARE JUST JEALOUS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMEN THAT ARE TALKENTED, YES, TALENTED, NOT EVEERYONE CAN HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO ACT AND SUPERMODEL..LEAVE THEM ALONE

The boys are funnny and inteligent. As far as their social life goes . Quit hanging out with skanky ass chicks down at the Bar None . Hope their not fucking them to.

What kind of hypocrite can blabber about bigotry and an "All- White hate campaign" and then support a movie that is obviously racist?
I wonder what this guy would say if a modern day minstrel show was released, with two white comics in blackface, mocking black stereotypes? He'd probably be damning all of white "AmeriKKKa" to hell for the insult.

Oh ha ha ha, another romp by black comics, lampooning every white stereotype they can think of. I guess there will be plenty of "they cant dance" jokes. How original.

personally, i like the wayans brothers. i think they look good and they're funny. they're doin' their thang. if that was any one of you people doin' that movie, you wouldn't be complaining about it. you'd just be glad you would be makin' money. so, quit complaining about everyone and get a life.

Why is this movie any different from the minstrel blackface shows of old? Painting your face and mocking others because of their race is wrong, or so we've been told a million times before.
Please editors, allow a dissenting un-p.c. point of view.

In response to Deidre, it wouldnt be one of us people (by that I guess you mean white people)doin' that movie, because no studio would ever fund white comics in blackface.
Having said that, black comics making fun of whites doesnt bug me, Im not into bland PC humor, gimme the offensive stuff, even if my own race is the butt of the joke. I just wish some people in the PC crowd would share that atittude when minorities get a little fun poked at them.

I personally like the Wayans brothers...esp. Marlon. Shawn needs to work on the acting skills but in any case he must be doing something right cuz he's making the dough. This movie, I must admit I'm quite skeptical. White Chicks???...hmmm I don't know. There could be a few ha ha's but nothing to look back and say...Gee, what a classic!!! But don't fret Marlon and Shawn because if it flops, ur not the 1st and u def. won't be the last. Hollywood has made more million dollar mistakes. And in any case u guys can sit back have a could cry and let the money wipe ur tears:)

I saw the trailer for this movie a while back and just cringed.
I'm black, and I KNOW brothers & sisters would be screaming for hides if a movie 'Black Chicks' came out with white guys impersonating the Williams sisters. Don't give me this, 'they're just doin their thang,' shit.
I'd be pissed if the situation were reversed, so I can understand if white people are *just* a little touchy...

LOL... the Wayans brotherz are JOKERZ....and to all the other people who have problems with the movie...WHO CARES..its made, sealed and in theatres soon, so your tearz can't do anything about it!!!
A next thing, so what if black people are making fun of white people?? For YEARS upon YEARS upon YEARS white people have had blacks in slavery-to the point where the blacks couldn't even look at a white slave master. Now(21st century) the blacks have a chance to sit back and laugh at these so called, 'slave masters' everyone has a problem??? how come people are so sensative about it now?? its not like blacks are putting whites into slavery??? no, all we're doing is having some fun....RELAX...if you can't take a joke....COMEDIES aren't for you.......LOL....white chicks......

OH YEAH, who said the Hiltons are talented??? ....just cuz they have a 'nice' face does not mean they are talented, just cuz they can walk across a stage does not mean they are talented, just cuz they have the nerve to make a FOOOL of them self on television does not make them talented....Look up talented in the dictionary.....The hilton sisters DON'T fit the bill....

I can't wait til this movie hits theaters. The response is going to be amazing:

CONTROVERSY OR COMEDY?

Oh, this is gonna be soooooo funny! Its a fish out of water story. You see, Black people act very different from white people and when two black men are dressed up as white women, and thrown into white society, they just wont know how to act. They'll be all ghetto, and confused by the white folks uptight manners and proper English. Madcap zaniness will ensue. Haaahaaahaaa!!

Im being sarcastic of course.

Yeah OK. I agree with Shaddap! The Wayans Brothers ROCK!. They are all hot and they can all act very well. Thank you very much!

I think of Hilton sisters as rich trash but I LOVED THIS MOVIE. It could have been even funnier, but I had wonderful time seeing it. They whole movie house was cheering and laughing, it's been a long time since I felt that GOOD leaving a movie. I thought 50 first dates was good too.

I can not believe some these posts. Some of you people have actually narrowed it down to racism and claiming that the Wayans Bros. are talented. What a joke! I will admit that Scary Movie was pretty funny but neither of the Wayans in the movie had much to do with that, at least not their parts in the movie. I think this family is long overdue for retirement from the movie business and these days, anyone who is entertained by these has-beens are just as stupid as the movies they make.

THE WAYAN BROTHERS..CRACK ME UP..I THINK THAT THEY ARE EXTREMELY FUNNY..I SAW WHITE CHICKS ITS HILARIOUS..DAVE CHAPPELLE SUX..HE IS DEFINETLY NOT UP THERE WITH THE WAYANS.. THE BROTHERS ROCKKKK..

For those people who have posted in things sayin stuff about racism n all that sht r fukd up. White Chicks is not a racist movie, its just comedy, no disrespect 2 whites or blacks, drop da whole racism sht! n TEE y u bring up da slavery sht 4???!!! dat was a looooong time ago n it aint got nuthin 2 do wid da movie, Im half black and half white so dis movie was pretty funny 2 me coz I understood both point of views. And about da Hilton sisters, they aint got no talent, their famous coz dere rich but i think they ugly as hell, sure they got nice bodies, but they got but-ugly faces n Paris Hilton cant model fo sht!

white chics is sooo funny that i cant ever get enough of it!Big ups to the Wayans bro's they got real talent.to the critics its easier to criticize so pliz just get a life!Am african from Kenya[nairobi]and i dont really find it racist. those guys did a wonderful job and am looking forward to other hilarious movies soonest.
