Los Angeles, CA (AHN) - Billy Bob Thornton is re-teaming with his one time co-star Halle Berry for a new movie. The actor, who starred with Berry in "Monster's Ball," has signed on for Lionsgate's "Tulia."
The crime-drama is centered on an ACLU attorney who tries to reveal the corruption surrounding drug convictions in Tulia, Texas, in 1999.
Karen Croner has written the screenplay, with a rewrite by Carl Franklin, the director. The film is also based on an adaptation of a book by Nate Blakeslee titled "Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town."
Adam Rosenfelt, Jesse Franklin, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins, Vince Cirrincione and Berry are producing, while Sam Nazarian, Marc Schaberg, Sharla Bridget Sumpter, Malcolm Petal, Kim Anderson and Lionsgate's Tom Ortenberg and Mike Paseornek are executive producing.
Filming will begin on April 30 in New Orleans and a release date is expected in 2008.
To be human unfortunately often means to be ruled by superficial reactions. I've heard people on FR discussing whether a political candidate "looks" Presidential as if that has some meaning.
She's been married twice that I know of: Number One to David Justice, pro babseball player, and Number two was a professional musician (Lenny Kravitz?).
I think she likes this one well enough;)
Right. I live about 85 miles southwest of Tulia, and I can't think of a single thing about New Orleans that resembles this part of Texas!
