Producer Stephanie Allain explains, "The article identified 42.4 percent as the percentage of black women who have never been married. Percentages aside, I saw this reflected not just in the lives of my black girlfriends, but with other professional women I knew." Screenwriter Kriss Turner remembers, "I'd gotten the initial article from a friend of mine and those number were very scary. I know a lot of fabulous, sharp, professional women that are still single, and I thought, This is a movie." Allain continues, "Kriss wrote about what I felt was universal for working women who are looking for love. As fantastic as their professional lives might be, they also want love in their personal lives. Something New looks at this problem through the eyes of a particular woman, Kenya Denise McQueen, who is an executive needing to expand her horizons in order to find love." Turner adds, "When you get to your late 30's and you're still single, the thing that comes up especially among black women professionals is, are you going to go outside your race? If you want to find love and get married, you are probably going to have to open it up and think outside the box. |
