We already knew that Goree Girls was a musical film, but we wondered whether Jennifer Aniston would actually be singing in the movie, which tells the tale of an all-female country band that formed in a Texas prison in the 1940s. E! Online reports that not only will Jennifer be singing in the flick, but she will also be playing the guitar!
The movie's director, Michael Sucsy, tells Mark Malkin, "She can sing. And she's going to learn how to play the Dobro [guitar]." Though Jen's fellow band members haven't been cast yet, Sucsy reveals that they won't necessarily be musicians either. "These women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments," Sucsy said. "They weren't these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together. That's what's interesting about it."
The group was one of the first all-female country acts in the United States in the 1940s, and after releasing a string of hits, they were eventually pardoned and released from prison. Though it sounds like an interesting movie, we're more curious to see how well Jen can carry a tune!
Think she can pull it off? If so, maybe there's an Oscar in her future?
