Fresh off the
success of 'Welcome
Home Roscoe
Jenkins', Director
Malcolm D. Lee
continues with Soul
Men starring Samuel
L. Jackson and
Bernie Mac: a story
about two
former backup soul
singers. Louis
(Samuel L. Jackson)
and Floyd (Bernie
Mac) travel cross
country to perform
at a tribute concert
in honor of their
famous former band
leader. They haven't
spoken to each other
in 30 years but
reluctantly agree to
travel together for
the tribute
performance.
"Soul Men'" says
Lee "... in
modern times the
lead singer dies...
they haven't spoken
in 30 years... they
are reluctant to do
a concert... its a
journey that gets
them back to where
they used to be..."
Funny from beginning
to end, Soul Men
star Samuel L.
Jackson must tap
into his comedic
style of acting when
alongside co-star
Bernie Mac who is
famously funny. Each
scene caries lots of
humor that will
leave you laughing,
louder than the
last. Director
Malcolm D. Lee pays
homage to singer
Isaac Hayes and
Bernie Mac. During
the ending a glimpse
of never-before-seen
scenes of Mac delve
into the humbleness
that he explains
makes him real. An
amazing cast of
characters, Soul Men
shows the bonds of
real friendship can
never be broken.
"The
soundtrack is getting
there. Our music is
based on the Staxx
catalog. We're taking a
lot of the sounds. We're
doing remakes with John
Legend... he's in the
movie. he's plays the
lead singer."
