BlackTree TV Host/Producer Jamaal Finkley, sits down with Sharon Leal to discuss "Soulmen", working with Bernie Mac and her singing career.
Soul Men traces the story of two estranged soul-singing legends, Louis Hinds (Samuel L. Jackson) and Floyd Henderson (Bernie Mac), who must reunite for a tribute concert at the Apollo Theater after the death of their former groups lead member (John Legend). With only Floyds lime green 1971 Cadillac El Dorado convertible to get them from L.A. to New York, Hinds and Henderson embark on a road trip that just might give these bickering soul men another chance to harmonize if they dont kill each other first.
Sharon Leal (Dreamgirls, This Christmas), Jennifer Coolidge (Epic Movie, For Your Consideration), Sean Hayes (The Bucket List, Will & Grace), Adam Herschman (I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Accepted), Affion Crockett ("Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins," "The Boondocks"), soul music icon Isaac Hayes (South Park, Hustle & Flow), and Grammy-winning R&B recording artist John Legend also star.
The film is directed by Malcolm Lee (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, Undercover Brother), from a script by Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone. Producers are David T. Friendly (an Oscar nominee for Little Miss Sunshine, Meet Dave) under his Friendly Films banner, Charles Castaldi (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins) and Steve Greener (The Bernie Mac Show, Guess Who).
The creative team includes director of photography Matthew Leonetti, editor John Carter, production designer Richard Hoover and costume designer Danielle Hollowell.

To krypton137: Your comment is so ridiculous! Ignorance has no color! There are white women who talk loud and have the "bitch" attitude. Trust me, I work with several of them. This actress, Sharon Leal is not anything like you are talking about anyway. What a STUPID COMMENT!
