"Tennessee" shooting starts in May
In May, principal photography will begin for Lee Daniels' next big project; a family drama titled "Tennessee" with pop diva Mariah Carey attached as a waitress with singing aspirations, experiencing domestic violence.
"It's my version of 'Terms of Endearment'," Daniels says of what he considers "lighter" fare. "Mariah is very complex and she has had a very interesting career and she brings all of those complexities to this film. She's on it. Just like Halle Berry, just like Kevin Bacon and just like Cuba Gooding, Jr, she is hungry for this and that's when superb-ness and brilliance comes." (excerpt from AOL Black Voices)
