Cadillac Records
Darnell Martin is set to helm "Cadillac Records," which is being produced by Sofia Sondervan and Andrew Lack for Sony BMG Film. It will begin production this year in Chicago.

The film, which Martin ("Their Eyes Were Watching God") also wrote, follows the lifestyles of some of America's most prolific musical icons in 1950s Chicago, including Muddy Waters, Leonard Chess, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf and Elvis Presley.
