Terrence Howard to star in biopic of Charley Pride
2006-10-03
Oscar-nominated Terrence Howard will swap rap for country in a new bio-pic of baseball player-turned-singer Charley Pride, a report has said. The project will see Howard reunite with "Hustle and Flow" director Craig Brewer, the movie that earned the 37-year-old an Academy Award nomination in the best actor category, according to movie industry journal Variety on Tuesday. Born to Mississippi sharecroppers in 1939, Pride dreamed of playing professional baseball but turned to music when it became clear he would never make the Major Leagues. After moving to Nashville, he became a country music sensation and between 1966 and 1984, 51 of his 54 singles made the country top 10. Muzi.com News
