At tonight's Los Angeles premiere of Ira Sachs' Sundance Award-winning film "Forty Shades of Blue," I had the chance to speak with André Benjamin, half of the talented OutKast, who was kind enough to answer a few quick questions about the upcoming OutKast movie.
Written and directed by Bryan Barber, who worked with André and Antwan "Big Boi" Patton on their videos "The Whole World", "Hey Ya!" and "The Way You Move," the new film is a musical set in the Prohibition-era American South, where Rooster (Patton), a speakeasy performer and Percival (Benjamin), the club's piano player, contend with gangsters who have their eyes on the club.
Outkast is also producing the soundtrack, which Patton has stated is a true OutKast album instead of a basic soundtrack loaded with guest appearances.
