Jeff Bridges struck gold with his portrayal of Bad Blake in Crazy Heart, now let’s hear what Gwyneth Paltrow can do with a little country music in her upcoming film Country Strong starring country legend Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester.
In the new feature from Screen Gems, Gwyneth plays a washed up country singer out to prove she’s still got it in her. Starring alongside her is Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester.
Here's the official synopsis:
Soon after a rising young singer-songwriter (Garrett Hedlund) gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star (Gwyneth Paltrow),
the pair embarks on a career resurrection tour helmed by her
husband/manager (Tim McGraw) and featuring a beauty-queen-turned-singer
(Leighton Meester). Between concerts, romantic entanglements and old
demons threaten to derail them all.
The trailer hit the web late Thursday night and frankly, it looks like a beer-drinkin’, heart-breakin’ good time. The film opens in limited release on Dec. 22 and expands to a wide release on Jan. 7.
Trivia question: Can you name the Melissa Etheridge music video that Gwyneth appeared in?
