The cast of Malcolm Lee’s sequel, “Best Man Holiday” are sharing two covers of Ebony magazine’s November issue.
The original cast of 1999 classic, “The Best Man,” returned to reprise their roles 15 years later.
The beautiful ladies, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Monica Calhoun, Regina Hall and Melissa DeSousa grace one cover, while the dapper gentlemen Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Harold Perrineau, and Terrence Howard pose on the next.
Last July, Lathan shared how the sequel came to be in an interview with Vibe.com:
“Well, did you hear about the dinner where Malcolm pitched [The Best Man Holiday]? We all came together about two years ago and he pitched us the idea. And the idea was so great we got excited and said, ‘Write it!’ The studio was actually kind of a little hesitant about it and so we all came together and did a table read for the studio live and in person, and we gave it our all. By the time we got home we knew…they loved it.”
