Jennifer Aniston to star in ‘Girls’
August 5th, 2009 - 7:46 pm ICT by IBNSAug (IBNS) Jennifer Anniston is all set to star in Michael Sucsy feature directorial debut on Goree Girls.
The film will revolve around the true story of an all-female country band in a Texas prison in the 1940s, reports variety.com.
In Goree Girls, Sucsy will polish the recent draft by John Lee Hancock, who rewrote an original by Margaret Nagle based on a 2003 Texas Monthly article by Skip Hollandsworth. The story was about the eight women who formed one of the first all-girl C&W acts in the country, became a public favorite and were eventually pardoned.
The project will begin start in January and will be financed by Overnight Prods. Overnight’s Rick Schwartz and Aaron Kaufman have joined Aniston and her Echo Films partner Kristin Hahn as producers.
Overnight made a deal with DreamWorks to take the picture out of turnaround.
Goree Girls is the third studio-developed property of the Gotham-based production company. In Overnight has a series of projects in the pipeline. In November, it will start the Darren Aronofsky-directed Black Swan, which is a ballet thriller developed at Universal that will star Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. And next year it was the production of Jonathan Jakubowicz-directed “Southbound,” a border drama developed at Warner Bros, starring Matthew McConaughey and Eva Mendes.
