http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2010/08/19/maggie-gyllenhaal-peter-sarsgaard-to-duet-in-bluegrass-film/ HollywoodNews.com: The life of bluegrass music pioneer, Bill Monroe, will be brought to the big screen in a feature starring real life couple Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. Sarsgaard is set to portray Monroe while Gyllenhaal will easily play the musician’s lover Bessie Lee Mauldin. Digital Spy overheard Gyllenhaal saying “Bill Monroe, who invented Blue Grass music, had a kind of Sid and Nancy-style affair with this woman Bessie Lee Mauldin throughout his life. “T-Bone Burnett’s going to do the music and Callie Khouri, who wrote ‘Thelma & Louise,’ wrote the script so we’re going to do that together.” [email protected] Cell: 606-821-5446 ------------------------------------------------------- To view the IBMA-L archives, visit the web site: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/ibma-l.html For all the latest information about our Association, visit: http://ibma.org/ ------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
