The last time a Southerner tried to save someone via blues on the big screen, the result was Craig Brewer's love-it-or-hate-it Black Snake Moan. But given the oddities of that film, I'm imagining that Mario van Peebles' version, Bailey, is going to turn out fairly different.
Son of legendary blaxploitation director Melvin van Peebles, Mario will direct Michael Clarke Duncan and Morgan Simpson in Bailey, a story of "spiritual redemption against the backdrop of Memphis blues," according to Variety. Simpson, who I can't even find on IMDB (there are three of them), wrote the script and will play the title character.
