That phenomenal hip hop duo; That tenacious two-some is preparing to go where hip hop has never gone before: Back to the 1930s. The trailer for their new film, Idlewild, will leave Outkast fans and Historians alike, salivating. With a cast that boasts Hollywood heavy-weights, including Cicely Tyson, Ving Rhames and Terrence Howard; and household names Patti Labelle, Ben Vereen and Macy Gray, it's certainly aimed to please.
The synopsis goes a little something like this: Set against the backdrop of a 1930s southern speakeasy, Percival, a shy piano player, and Rooster, the club's showy lead performer and manager, struggle to keep their dreams alive.
Outkast will perform the music for the motion picture soundtrack, which is scheduled to be released in February.
