Usher to Star in Dying for Dolly
By James Wray Dec 1, 2004, 11:46 GMT
Singer/actor Usher is set to star in the Lions Gate Films drama Dying for Dolly, while MGM is trying to secure another Usher project with Step in the Name of Love.
Ron Underwood will direct Dying for Dolly, with Emmanuelle Chriqui signed as the female lead. Chazz Palmintieri will also star in the film, which is due to begin production December 12.
Usher will star as the loyal right-hand man to a Mafia don. He's been assigned to watch over the don's daughter, but the dad doesn't know the bodyguard and the girl have long nursed a mutual crush. Chanel Capra wrote the film.
MGM has drafted Craig Brewer to rewrite Step in the Name of Love as an urban Saturday Night Fever that Usher would star in and produce.
Brewer will redraft a script by Carl Seaton and Kenny Young. The film is set in the world of steppin', a flashy kind of dance reminiscent of swing dancing.
