Outkast Idlewild

One of the most talked about projects amongst Outkast fans is the Outkast Idlewild movie, the first movie from the duo. The long-awaited movie has been pushed back several times and has made fans more anxious for the movie by the minute.

Accompanying the movie will also be an album named “Idlewild,” which will feature songs from previous albums as well as songs never heard before. The first single from the album will most likely be “Idlewild Blues,” although this is not set in stone.

Synopsis

A story of the aspirations and loves of two struggling performers, Idlewild is told via elaborate musical performances and vividly choreographed dance sequences. The movie is an original and creative musical starring multi-Grammy and multi-platinum winning OutKast members Antwan (Big Boi) A. Patton and André (Andre 3000) Benjamin.

Set in the 1930s alongside the scenery of a southern speakeasy, Idlewild explores the lives of Rooster (Patton), the club's flashy lead manager and performer and Percival (Benjamin), a shy piano player of the club. Idlewild blends music, style, drama and cinema altogether to bring a tale of two struggling musicians to life.

The all-star cast includes a roster of some of today’s most renown performers in music and film. Cast members include Tony Award winner Ben Vereen, Oscar® nominee and Emmy winner Cicely Tyson Ving Rhames, , newcomer Paula Patton, Faizon Love, singer Macy Gray, Malinda Williams, legendary musical artist Patti LaBelle, and Terrence Dashon Howard.
