Didn’t we already see that one?
Not content with the one shining statue atop of his scratch matt, Oscar Winner Jamie Foxx (‘’Ray’’) has jumped aboard another film that the 108-year-old’s running the Academy will no doubt drink up. (And I bet they get into it more than Lindsay Lohan would it in a Brewery).
Foxx’s next, another ‘musical prodigy’ flick, is called “The Soloist” and is the true story of musical prodigy Nathaniel Ayers, who developed schizophrenia in his second year at Juilliard and ended up homeless on the streets of downtown L.A. where he performs the violin and cello.
The drama, says Variety, is based on the relationship the musician developed with Steve Lopez, a Los Angeles Times reporter whose column informed the script, as did a book Lopez is writing that Putnam will publish in the spring. Lopez will be a major character in the film, and that role is about to be cast.
Sounds like Foxx won’t have to worry about headlining any direct-to-video sequels to “Stealth” for at least a few more years.
