Teen solves centuries-old math problem
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Country royalty, Dolly Parton, is joining hip hop royalty, Queen Latifah, to duet in a new feature film, "Joyful Noise," The Hollywood Reporter said.
The film is about two women who join forces to prevent the shutting down of a small-town gospel choir, the Reporter said.
Todd Graff is doing the writing and directing chores for the musical-driven movie for Warners-based Alcon Entertainment, the report said. Alcon's co-founders and co-CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce along with Catherine Paura and Joe Farrell of Farrell Paura Prods. and O.N.C. Entertainment's Michael Nathanson.
The Reporter said Latifah will play the mother of two teens who is put in charge of the Pacashau Gospel Choir after the death of its choir director. Parton will appear as the choir director's widow who hopes to take over her late husband's job.
