From the Associated Press
“Hustle & Flow” director Craig Brewer says he and Terrence Howard are working on a movie biography of country singer Charley Pride.
Howard got an Oscar nomination for his work in Brewer’s “Hustle & Flow,” portraying a pimp who longs to be a rap artist. Howard will portray Pride in the new movie, Brewer told the Commercial Appeal of Memphis.
Pride, who was born poor in Sledge, Miss., played baseball for the Memphis Red Socks of the Negro American League before beginning his career as a country singer in Nashville in the 1960s.
