After making an impact with hip-hop in Hustle & Flow, writer director Craig Brewer is switching his focus to country music.
He’s just just finished shooting Black Snake Moan, an exploit-o-drama starring Sam Jackson, Christina Ricci and Justin Timberlake, and plans to move on to Maggie Lynn, a country-fried film that will be handled by Paramount’s new company Paramount Vantage.
Lynn tracks a woman who gets her heart broken (in a film about country music? Surely not!) and must struggle to regain her sense of self-worth by returning home to Tennessee and teaming up with her brother to play the music she loves.
There’s no cast yet, but Brewer wants to start shooting before the end of the year.
