Jamie Foxx Turns To Music Again
Will Oscar chime twice?
Variety is reporting that Jamie Foxx is heading back to the world of music in The Soloist with Pride and Prejudice director Joe Wright set to helm.
The DreamWorks drama is based on the true story of musical prodigy Nathaniel Ayers, who developed schizophrenia in his second year at Juilliard and ended up homeless on the streets of downtown L.A. where he performs the violin and cello.
Filming is already set to begin in January in Los Angeles from the Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) script. The film will focus on the relationship the musician developed with Steve Lopez, a Los Angeles Times reporter whose column informed the script, as did a book Lopez is writing that Putnam will publish in the spring. Lopez will be a major character in the film, and that role is about to be cast.
