| (EZ-Tracks) - After a triumphant musical comeback, Mariah has once again set her sights on
the big screen and is set to appear in the independent film Tennessee. The
comeback singer starred in the widely panned 2001 film Glitter, and appeared
with actress Miro Sorvino in Wise Girls in 2002. In Tennessee, Carey will
play a waitress who sets off with two brothers to find their estranged
father in order to save their younger brother, who has leukemia. Director
Aaron Woodley decided to cast Carey after her Grammy-award winning album The
Emancipation of MiMi became the biggest-selling album of 2005 - and also
after viewing her work in WiseGirls. He explains, "I never saw Glitter, but
I liked her work in the other film. Because this character is inter-racial
and struggles with all sorts of issues because of that, I thought she was
perfect."The film will shoot in New Mexico and Tennessee this spring 06." |
