Why did Craig Brewer touch this?
Im going out on a limb here and guessing that Craig Brewer agreed to direct this because he had a pet project that Paramount would only finance if he lent his name/talents to this. I know he has said in the past that he wanted to continue with music genre films, hoping next to do a film about country music after covering the blues with Black Snake Moan (having already covered hip-hop with Hustle and Flow). I have to believe this is the case, because I have a hard time believing he would involve himself with this POS junker without a good reason. Perhaps someone knows something I dont.
