HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - "Dreamgirls" co-star Sharon Leal is set to star in another musically-themed movie, the Dimension Films comedy "Soul Men."
The film, which will be directed by Malcolm D. Lee, stars Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac as Louis and Floyd, two estranged former backup soul singers for a famed group who reluctantly agree to travel together for a memorial concert at the Apollo Theatre in honor of their recently deceased frontman.
Leal will play Louis' daughter Cleo, who joins him and Floyd on their road trip and eventually becomes a singer for the band.
Following her breakthrough role in "Dreamgirls," Leal starred opposite Tyler Perry in his critically-acclaimed film, "Why Did I Get Married?"
The 35-year-old actress also recently appeared in "This Christmas."
