Mira Sorvino, Mariah Carey and Melora Walters ('Magnolia') are in negotiations to topline the dramatic indie feature 'Wise Girls' for director David Anspaugh, reports The Hollywood Reporter. The project, budgeted at about $10 million, is slated to start shooting in mid-May in Halifax.
Written by John Meadows, "Girls" is about three waitresses (Sorvino, Carey and Walters) who work at a mob-owned restaurant and end up getting involved in the business.
Leading Pictures' Anthony Esposito and R.G.H. Lions Share's Billy Blake are producing with Jack Soyka and Bill Blum.
