As Wayans notes, Requiem for a Dream was based on 1970s novel from Hubert Selby Jr., who was also integral to developing the film with Aronofsky, having written a script adaptation years before the director approached him. Given there was a difference of two decades between when Selby Jr. first wrote the novel and when the film came to be, it’s understandable there would be a major difference in character personalities and language in that time gap. Additionally, with Aronofsky clearly wanting to be as faithful to the source material as possible, it’s understandable he and Selby Jr. would elect to remain as close to the original language as possible, even if it feels outdated for some of its characters.
Despite his initial reservations for the project, Requiem for a Dream would prove to be a strong move for Wayans as he score rave reviews for his performance as a drug dealer looking to escape the ghetto and get the acceptance of his mother. Though Wayans has primarily remained in the comedy genre since, namely with the films he’s co-written ranging from White Chicks to Scary Movie, he has occasionally returned to the dramatic field with well-received roles in On the Rocks and the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect. Audiences can revisit Wayans’ performance with Requiem for a Dream streaming on Tubi now.
