http://www.merryweatherjones.com/content/whitaker_and_zellwegger_news Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:51:49 GMT Production will launch next month in Kansas and New Orleans on indie drama <i>My Own Love Song</i>, written and to be directed by Olivier Dahan (<i>Môme, La</i> (2007)) starring Forest Whitaker and Renee Zellweger.<br /> <br /> The story fllows a wheelchair-bound former singer and her friend on a roadtrip to Memphis; tragic heros both, who know the hard road and how to "take" it.<br /> <br /> I'm sure Zellwegger does, anyway.<br /> <br /> Producer is Alain Goldman, who also produced <i>Môme, La</i>.<br /> <br /> Zellweger's wrapped work on Western drama <i>Appaloosa</i> and comedies <i>Chilled in Miami</i> and <i>My One and Only.</i> Whitaker will next be seen in <i>Winged Creatures.</i><br /> <br /> Sounds like she's trying to get a shitload of films in the can before audiences realize she's turning into Paul Simon's twin brother with "Michael Jackson" disease, while Whitaker continues with his all-important straight-to-video Sundance Channel work.
