She’s an emotionally unstable country star fresh out of rehab. He’s her husband and manager working to resurrect her failing career. Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw, along with Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester, star in the big-screen drama, Country Strong, set to hit theaters this winter.
Soon after a rising young singer-songwriter (Hedlund) becomes romantically involved with Paltrow’s character, Kelly Canter, the pair embarks on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager (McGraw) and featuring a beauty-queen-turned-singer (Meester). In between concerts, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.
Paltrow performs the movie’s title track, which is currently climbing the country radio charts.
Written and Directed by Shanna Feste and Produced by Tobey Maguire and Jenno Topping, Country Strong was filmed in Nashville and the surrounding areas earlier this year.
Country Strong hits theaters in Los Angeles and Nashville on December 22, 2010, and nationwide on January 7, 2011.
