Danny Glover has joined the cast of the period musical drama
Honeydripper, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, written and to be helmed by John Sayles, is set in 1950s Alabama, and follows Tyrone (Glover), owner of the Honeydripper juke joint. When business at Tyrone's blues club begins to drop off, against his better judgment, Tyrone hires Sonny (Clark), a young electric guitarist, in a last-ditch effort to draw crowds during harvest time.
Blues guitarist Keb' Mo', R&B singer Ruth Brown and Gary Clark Jr., a Texas blues guitarist will join Glover in the movie.
