OutKast to star in film

OutKast are getting ready to make their first film, Speakerboxxx, which is described as "a 1930s period piece and musical".

Based on their acclaimed Speakerboxxx/The Love Below album, it will star both Big Boi and Andre 3000. Writer and director Bryan Barber aims to start work in May on the film, which he says is a mix between The Color Purple and Amélie.
