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 .
