Dolly Parton joins Queen Latifah in ‘Joyful Noise’

Dolly Parton after a large film hiatus is returning to her acting career. This will be her first return to a major feature after the 1992’s Straight Talk. Parton was known for her 80s work, Steel Magnolias. With the help of the talented Queen Latifah, they come together in Joyful Noise.

Joyful Noise’s focal point is around these two women who struggle to prevent a gossip choir in a diminutive town from going under. Writing and directing this musical inspired film is Todd Graff. Graff is quite qualified for executing this project as he wrote and directed Camp (teen musical) and Bandslam (battle of the bands movie). Alcon Entertainment’s co-CEOs (and founders), Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will partner along side Joe Farrell, Catherine Paura and Michael Narthanson to produce the movie.

The storyline reads after the death of the gossip choir’s director, Latifah’s character (a mother of two) is placed in charge of the Pacashau Gospel Choir. Parton will portray the wife of the deceased choir director; she’ll be hoping she will take over the position.

I have always loved Queen Latifah’s work because she has that wonderful, easy-going vibe that entertains. Now for Parton, I do not know if she will just remain an annoyance and hinder the film or add to it. Maybe we will get lucky and Queen Latifah will dominate the scene and make the film a success. Only the trailer could give us a glimpse of what direction this movie will head.
