We don’t see Gwyneth Paltrow on the big screen for two years then boom two movies come along at once. She enjoyed box office success earlier this year with Iron Man 2 but now she is taking on a much grittier role in Country Strong.
Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund, Leighton Meester are also on the cast list of Shana Feste’s latest project, which is only her second movie in the director’s chair but also a script that she penned.
In Country Strong, Hedlund plays a rising young singer/songwriter who becomes involved with a fallen country singer played by Paltrow.
As they embark on a career resurrection tour with her husband/manager (Tim McGraw) and a beauty queen turned singer (Leighton Meester), romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.
Take a loo at the first trailer for the movie:
