Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah To Make Joyful Noise
Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah are set to star in Joyful Noise, a musical feature film that tells the story of an unlikely partnership between two strong~minded women who are forced to work together to save a small town Gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut them down.
“I’m really happy to be doing a movie with Queen Latifah,” Parton said in a statement. “I really like her and have often thought we would be fun together. Even though we play rivals in the movie, I’m sure we’ll have our fun behind the scenes. I’m so happy to be doing a movie about music – especially happy because it’s gospel music which I grew up singing and loving. I think we need something uplifting in this day in time! So yep, happy, happy, happy – that’s me.”
Joyful Noise will feature original new music by Parton. No word on when the movie will be released.
