*Oscar winner Christopher Walken has signed on to star with Lenny Kravitz in “Little Rootie Tootie,” the next film from writer-director Dan Algrant.
Walken will play Sonny, a veteran jazz pianist who is mourning the death of his wife. His son (Kravitz), returns home with his own wife, interrupting their careers as musicians in Europe to deal with the brilliant Sonny as his behavior becomes manic and destructive. The trio tries to present the illusion of a functioning family, as the eccentricities inherent in being working musicians leads them tumbling toward a tragic but impactful conclusion.
The film will shoot in January in New York City and will be shopped at AFM, reports Deadline.com.
Grammy winner Terence Blanchard will be scoring and creating original music.
