Lee Daniels talks about how he was able to bring his film, PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE, to the screen without compromising his vision. From taking eight years to convince the author to let him transfer the story of Precious to the screen, to casting newcomer Gabourey Sibide in the title role, to convincing co-star Mariah Carey to work without makeup, to warning co-star Mo’Nique that she might lose her fan base, he unfolds a tale that combines angels and trust to make a stunning piece of art that is tough but beautiful.
