EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Danny Glover and John Sayles Talk Honeydripper
Check out our exclusive interviews with John Sayles and Danny Glover (who we had to ask if he plans to return for the rumored Lethal Weapon 5 sequel...take a look!
1950. Rural Alabama. Cotton harvest. It's a make-or-break weekend for the Honeydripper Lounge and its owner, piano player Tyrone "Pine Top" Purvis. Deep in debt to the liquor man, the chicken man, and the landlord, Tyrone is desperate to lure the young cotton pickers and local Army base recruits into his juke joint, away from Touissant's, the rival joint across the way. After laying off his regular talent, blues singer Bertha Mae, Tyrone announces to his sidekick Maceo that he has hired the famous electric guitar player, Guitar Sam, for a special one night only gig: pack 'em in and save the club.
On the day of the show, the train arrives and Guitar Sam is no where to be found. Tyrone is forced to take drastic action. He makes a deal with Sheriff Pugh to release Sonny, the kid who hopped off a freight car here in Harmony, and turned up in the club claiming he could play the guitar as well as any Guitar Sam.
Tyrone cleans Sonny up and launches a last ditch scheme to pass off the young guitar picker as Guitar Sam just long enough to cut the lights and run off with cash box. When Sonny takes the stage and launches into his first scalding electric licks, Tyrone will learn if it's lights out for the Honeydripper or if his luck has changed: he might just be another man saved by rock n' roll.
Honeydripper will be released in theatres on December 28th.
Honeydripper was released December 28th, 2007 and stars Danny Glover, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Yaya DaCosta, Charles S. Dutton, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Gary Clark Jr., Mable John, Stacy Keach. The film is directed by John Sayles.

I like director John Sayles, but this film doens't sound interesting! I give the film kuddos for an interesting cast list!
At least Danny Glover got smart and is not doing another "Lethal Weapon"!

Filthy-minded bastard! But then again, Danny GLOVER would be a great name for an actor starring in a gay-fisting porn movie! This could be a good flick, John Sayles is the guy who's writing the screenplay for Jurassic Park IV and The Spiderwick Chronicles.
