Q: My book club read ‘The Help’ by Kathryn Stockett. Are there any plans for a movie?
Keena Benning, Detroit
You have a good eye for box-office potential! A movie based on the 2009 bestselling book is due in theaters in August. Viola Davis plays Aibileen in the drama directed by Tate Taylor and filmed in Mississippi. Other members of the cast include Emma Stone as Skeeter Phelan, Bryce Dallas Howard as Hilly Holbrook, Allison Janney as Charlotte Phelan and Sissy Spacek as Missus Walters.
