Yes, it’s true! Oscar winners Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry will be reuniting for a new film. No, it will not be Monster’s Ball II. This time the pair will star in the film Tulia, directed by Oscar nominee John Singleton. The film is based on the true story of a lawyer who exposed a plot by a small town Texas undercover agent who framed 46 African-Americans for drug charges that were later dismissed by Governor Rick Perry. The incident took place in 1999.
The film is based on the book, Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption in a Small Texas Town by Nate Blakeslee. Karen Croner wrote the script which was originally to be filmed by Carl Franklin. As Singleton’s best films include his from the heart debut, Boyz n the Hood and the historical drama, Rosewood, one would hope this new film might be a return to form after the recent, more commercial projects.
