Robin Thicke, Wife Team For Urban Drama
/ 03.19.2007
Billboard reports that Robin Thicke is in negotiations to write his first film score for the urban drama This Wednesday, with wife Paula Patton attached to star as a female pimp. Patton, known for lead roles opposite Denzel Washington in Deja Vu and OutKast’s Andre Benjamin in Idlewild, will portray Wednesday, the “trick baby” of a pimp father and hooker mother. With her best friend’s support, she struggles to survive on the harsh streets of Philadelphia. The feature from writer-director Christine Crokos is inspired by the true story of a female pimp in Atlanta. Wednesday will be expanded from Crokos’ 2001 short Heroine Helen, about the same character. Shooting is expected to begin late this year in Philadelphia.
