Halle Bailey has been announced as the latest addition to Universal Pictures' upcoming project, a musical helmed by Pharrell Williams and Michel Gondry. Set in Virginia Beach during the summer of 1977, the film draws inspiration from Williams' own childhood neighborhood, Atlantis Apartments. Bailey will share the screen with Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who recently clinched an Oscar.
Michel Gondry, known for his work on films like 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' and 'The Science of Sleep,' is set to direct the project. The script is penned by Martin Hynes and Steven Levenson, both accomplished writers in their own right.
