Jamie
Foxx and Usher Join Beyonce in Dreamgirls
5/12/05
Oscar-winning
actor Jamie Foxx and R&B heart-throb Usher will be joining sexy singer
Beyonce Knowles in the movie adaptation of hit stage musical Dreamgirls.
In
the movie, which is loosely based on Motown singing sensations The
Supremes and their rise to stardom, Ray star Foxx will play talent manager
Curtis Taylor Jr., while Usher will take on the role of choreographer CC
White.
Eddie
Murphey has been eyed to play a character described as a mix between James
Brown and Marvin Gaye - a womanizing R&B star who gives singers the
Dreamettes their first big break when he offers them the chance to sing
back-up for him. Production on the movie is scheduled to begin in January
(06). |
