The Big Picture It looks like Halle Bailey has found her next project. Variety reported today that the actor and singer has been cast in a project that hails from Universal Pictures. Still untitled, the musical is created by a pretty unique duo: Happy singer Pharrel Williams and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind writer and director Michel Gondry. The story is set to take place in Williams' childhood neighborhood Atlantis Apartments, in Virginia.
At this point, more details are kept under wraps by Universal, but we know that Bailey already has two costars. The first one is Kelvin Harrison Jr., who has some pretty extraordinary performances to his name. He played B.B. King in Elvis and none other than Martin Luther King in Hulu series Genius. He also starred in Cyrano alongside Peter Dinklage and in Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7.
Universal Pictures is yet to announce further details of the musical project, including additional cast members, filming schedule and expected release window. It's possible that Gondry subverts the musical format with his usual themes, but at the same time it's not like the Oscar winner has a distant relationship with musical endeavors. He's already helmed music videos for artists like The Chemical Brothers, The White Stripes, Radiohead and Björk.
