Here's your first look at Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, and Samuel L. Jackson in 'Soul Men', which is being by Malcom Lee (The Best Man, Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins).
Jackson and Mac will play two former backup soul singers who are part of a famed group that fell apart once the lead singer went solo. Bernie's character went on to open up Car Wash stores and retire while Sam's character started robbing banks and ended up in prison. He eventually gets out. They haven't spoken to each other in 20 years but reluctantly agree to travel cross country together to the Apollo Theater in New York City for a tribute performance in honor of their recently deceased band leader.
Shooting is currently underway in Shreveport, Louisiana. Also featured in the film are Jennifer Coolidge, Sean Hayes, and Sharon Leal.
Dimension Films will release the film on Octiber 10, 2008.
