yeah, you read that right...
Quote:
Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez will star in American Darlings, a period drama that was bought preemptively by New Regency from a four-page pitch, says Variety. Kidman will be also executive produce.
"Darlings" is a drama about a white female swing band that joins forces with a group of black and Hispanic musicians at a time when women were ostracized from playing male-dominated clubs. Those sex barriers shattered soon after President Roosevelt declared war on Japan and the women suddenly played the hottest clubs and even squared off against the Count Basie orchestra at the Apollo Theater.
Kidman brought in producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron because she was a fan of Chicago, which they executive produced. The duo are also preparing feature remakes of Guys and Dolls and Damn Yankees.
A screenwriter is soon expected to come aboard the project, which will showcase the singing voices of Lopez and Kidman.
