Aniston Producing Musical ‘Goree Girls’

Jennifer Aniston has her eyes set on a producing gig with the period musical Goree Girls for DreamWorks, a film she also might star in.

Worst is the that project is based on a true story about a group of eight women serving time in Texas’ Goree Prison during the 1940s who formed one of the first all-female country and western acts in the country and captured the hearts of millions of fans in the process.

The story comes from Skip Hollandsworth’s May 2003 article in Texas Monthly titled “O Sister Where Art Thou,” which recounted the story of the women, who eventually were pardoned. Aniston and her producing partner Kristin Hahn optioned the article and Margaret Nagle is adapting it for the screen and DreamWorks is taking the project out to directors.

As for what role Aniston would play in the whole thing is not divulged, neither is whether or not she would be doing any actual singing.
