New Behind-the-Scenes Featurette for 'The Soloist'

DateSunday, September 14, 2008 at 7:22PM
This past week, the official trailer for The Soloist was released online. The movie is based on a true story of a homeless musician, his dream to play one of the great concert halls in America, and the newspaper reporter who became his greatest supporter.

Jamie Foxx plays Nathaniel Ayers, who Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) discovers playing a cello with only two strings. Their unlikely friendship fueled a series of articles written by Lopez and eventually a book. The film is directed by Joe Wright (Atonement), and should feature some pretty good leading performances.

There's a new featurette with all the prinicipals - Ayers and Lopez, Wright, and Downey and Foxx - that will help shed a little more light on the movie and the remarkable story at its center.

Look for The Soloist on November 21st.

Looks quite intriguing - thanks for sharing. Could this join the popular sub-genre of heartwarming musician stories...?
