Usher tapped for new film projects--

Hypestyle · 12-01-2004, 08:16 PM

Singer/actor Usher will star in the Lions Gate Films drama Dying for Dolly, while MGM is trying to line up another Usher project with Step in the Name of Love, says Variety.

Ron Underwood will direct Dying for Dolly, with Emmanuelle Chriqui (Wrong Turn) signed as the female lead. Chazz Palmintieri will also star in the film, which begins 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, who wrote the spec, which the studio bought several months ago. The film is set in the world of steppin', a flashy kind of dance reminiscent of swing dancing.

I agree. Usher is Gay.

That was so GAY!

Usher is so overrated. I don't like his attitude.

NOO, he is the most stuck up *****! can't he keep his shirt on? ****, I look better than him, but you don't see me going everywhere half naked!
And his singing is not that great. And he needs to work on grammar because 'boo', 'U got it bad', 'will U help me?' are all just...wrong!

vision_afar · 12-02-2004, 08:07 PM

But don't you know 'boo', 'U got it bad', 'will U help me?' is a kewl way to spell nowdays. Gotta be kewl man!
