Jennifer Hudson cast in "Lullaby", Winnie to be released
New ensemble film: "Lullaby"
Quote:
Garrett Hedlund (TRON: LEGACY, COUNTRY STRONG, and the upcoming ON THE ROAD and INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS), Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins (THE VISITOR), Jessica Brown Findlay (PBS’ “Downton Abbey”), Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson (DREAMGIRLS), Oscar nominee Terrence Howard and three-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams (THE FIGHTER) will star in acclaimed fine artist Andrew Levitas’ comedy/drama LULLABY. It was announced today by Mimi Steinbauer, President and CEO of Radiant Films International, and producers Andrea Stone-Brokaw of Ananta Productions and Cary Brokaw (THE PLAYER, SHORT CUTS, ANGELS IN AMERICA, CLOSER) of Avenue Pictures. Radiant Films will be offering the film to international buyers of the Cannes Film Market.
Levitas will direct the feature film from his own script which is set to start shooting in June 2012 in New York City. The Producers are in discussion with several domestic distributors but the North American rights have not been licensed.
Filled with considerable comedic beats, LULLABY explores the power of life, its transformative moments and reconnections between loved ones. Estranged from his family, Jonathan (Hedlund) receives word that his father, Robert (Jenkins), who has been fighting illness for over a decade has chosen to take himself off life support in less than forty-eight hours. What follows is an unexpected journey of love, laughter, and forgiveness.

“We are the producers of the film,” Mosca said, “and it’s all done. Equinoxe Films has the rights in Canada. I think there will be distributor screenings in Los Angeles the first two weeks of May, right before Cannes, for a U.S. distributor. We’ll release it in the fall.” Mosca says that since Toronto “Winnie” has undergone several changes and that he’s very happy with it. Terrence Howard co-stars as Nelson Mandela. Jakes is an influential evangelist pastor from Dallas with a 30,000 member church. Recently he’s decided to push into the film business, starting with similarly branding his name on “Sparkle” with Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks.

The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete to start shooting July in NYC.
Quote:
Director George Tillman's (Men of Honor, Notorious, Faster) independently made project The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, will begin shooting this summer, in July, in New York City, for an 2013 release.
Now currently in pre-production, the long in gestation film project, written by Michael Starrbury, deals with two young kids who are left to fend for themselves in the urban jungle during one summer, when their mother is taken away by authorities.
Jennifer Hudson is still on board to play the role of the mother, but no official word as yet as to who will play the leads of Mister and Pete.
