Actress Sophie Okonedo and actor James Harkness have been roped in to star in Tom Harper-directed movie, “Country Music”.
They will join stars Jessie Buckley and Julie Walters in the tale about a young singer from Glasgow who dreams of making it to Nashville, reported Deadline.
Nicole Taylor has penned the script of the movie which is currently being shot in Glasgow and Nashville.
It follows the story of Rose-Lynn Harlan (Buckley) who is bursting with raw talent, charisma and cheek. Fresh out of jail and with two young kids, all she wants is to get out of Glasgow and make it as a country singer. Her mom Marion (Walters) has had a bellyful of Rose-Lynn's Nashville nonsense.
Forced to take responsibility, she gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house (Okonedo). It's a comedy-drama about mothers and daughters, dreams and reality and three chords and the truth.
