*Samuel L. Jackson* & *Bernie Mac*

The two remaining members of the popular soul band, The Real Deal, from the 1970's, Floyd Henderson, now a retired businessman, and ne'er-do-well, ex-convict, Louis Hinds, take a road trip to the Apollo Theater for a musical tribute to their recently deceased front man, Marcus Hook. As they travel cross country in a series of adventures and misadventures, they air old grievances about thirty year old betrayals and learn the music's still in them.

Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac is set to star in the comedy film, “Soul Men.” The comedy is about two former backup soul singers, played by Jackson and Mac, who are part of a famed group. They haven’t spoken to each other in 20 years but reluctantly agree to travel together for a tribute performance in honor of their recently deceased band leader.

Both Jackson and Mac will dance and sing, and the film is negotiating for access to the Stax Records catalog. Jackson’s deal is closed, and Mac is in negotiations.

Greener, who is Mac’s manager, hatched the idea, enlisted Friendly to produce with him and brought in Ramsey and Stone because of the relationship they developed with Mac on “Life.” Project originated at New Line but was recently picked up and fast-tracked by Dimension.

Jackson takes on the role after he completes the Frank Miller-directed “The Spirit.” Mac is coming off the Walt Becker-directed Disney comedy “Old Dogs.”
