Dennis Quaid is ready to make his feature film writing and directing debut as he sets off to tackle the story of the controversial 1940s Western swing star Spade Cooley in a film titled Shame on You.

Quaid will also star in the film and Katie Holmes is already in talks to play Cooley's wife in the biopic, whom Cooley killed in front of their teenage daughter in 1961. Cooley spent the '60s in prison for his crime and was released in 1969 to perform a benefit concert, where he died from a heart attack backstage.
