Country Tis Of Thee

Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Robert Duvall are all appearing in the music-based drama Crazy Heart"according to Variety.

The story surrounds a down-on-his-luck, alcoholic country music singer (Bridges) who is able to get his life and career back on track thanks to an ongoing relationship with a female reporter (Gyllenhaal).

Scott Cooper wrote and will helm the film based on the first novel by Thomas Cobb.

I'm not much for the country music backdrop--especially if we have to see Bridges sing (shudder)! But I can forgive that as long as Gyllenhall is made to shine.

Shooting is due to start next month in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
