Danny Glover has
been cast in Dreamgirls, a musical feature based on the stage hit
about a female singing group called the Dreamettes. The play
was a thinly veiled story of the Supremes. Out filmmaker
Bill Condon (Kinsey) is directing the feature version
for DreamWorks.
Beyonce Knowles
of R&B trio Destiny's Child already has been cast as
Deena Jones, one of the Dreamettes, while Jamie Foxx has
been cast as Svengali-like manager Curtis Taylor Jr.,
and Eddie Murphy as womanizing R&B star James
"Thunder" Early. Glover is playing Murphy's manager,
Marty Madison. Glover, whose lengthy film career includes
Silverado,The Color Purple, and the Lethal Weapon movies, appeared in
last year's low-budget hit Saw and returns to
theaters next year in Disney's remake of The Shaggy Dog. (Borys Kit, via Reuters)
