'Dreamgirls' Actress Lands 'Soul Men'

tags tags: samuel l. jackson  musical  dimension films  comedy  bernie mac  

Dreamgirls co-star Sharon Leal, who played the substitute member of the vocal trio after Effie was given the door, has landed the female lead in the music-laced comedy Soul Men, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Dimension Films project, directed by Malcolm D. Lee, stars Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac as Louis and Floyd, two estranged former backup soul singers for a famed group who reluctantly agree to travel together for a memorial concert at the Apollo Theater in honor of their recently deceased frontman.

Leal will play Louis' daughter Cleo, who joins him and Floyd on their road trip and eventually becomes a singer for the band.

Since Dreamgirls, Leal has also starred in "Why Did I Get Married?" and This Christmas.
