Terrence Howard and his Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer are moving from rap to country to bring the story of singer Charley Pride to the big screen. Howard will sing the country icon's songs and play guitar in the drama.

Oscar nominee Terrence Howard has his sights set on playing country legend Charley Pride in a new biopic, so he can pay tribute to his grandfather. The actor became a huge fan of country music after his truck-driving grandfather turned him onto the likes of Pride and Kenny Rogers during cross-country trips when he was a kid.
