Joyful Noise with Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah Premieres January 13th

December 27, 2011 by tamaratattles 4 Comments

Have you thought about your New Year’s Resolutions yet? I suggest you consider making seeing all the fantastic movies that filmed in Georgia a priority for 2012. There are well over a dozen coming out this year!  Joyful Noise  stars Dolly Parton in her first major movie in twenty years as  G.G. Sparrow, a very active member of the local church choir who hopes to take over as leader when her husband, played by Kris Kristofferson, passes away.  In an unwelcome turn of events,  the pastor chooses Vi Rose Hill (Queen Latifah) to take over the reins instead. Let’s just say  G.G. and  Vi Rose butt heads just a little.

The predictable storyline is sort of a protestant version of Sister Act as the choir competes in competitions unsuccessfully until someone comes along to shake things up. Enter Broadway’s young Jeremy Jordan, who plays G.G.’s grandson Randy, a bit of a delinquent with a good set of pipes. He falls in puppy love with Vi Rose’s daughter, Olivia played by  Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee)
and the two of them breathe new life into the choir.

The movie was filmed all around the Atlanta area including the Fredrick Brown Jr. Amphitheater (The Fred) in Peachtree City, a Waffle House in Conyers, the Landrum home in the Cole Town historic district in Newnan, downtown on Linwood Avenue,  and in several other area counties. The movie was shot in from February through April of this year.

Joyful Noise premiers in theaters on January, 13.  If you like gospel choirs and music themed movies with lots of funny scenes, you will enjoy this feel good movie.  Let me know what you think!

    I love QL and I can watch her in anything. If "Last Holiday" is on TNT, that's it, I'm watching it. That movie is pretty silly, but her charisma makes it enjoyable. Same with "The Secret Life of Bees". I just like the QL scenes! She is really one of my favorite celebs. OMG, totally love Dolly Parton! I met her once and she is a real, open, warm person ~ I can't wait to see the movie, LOL!

    QL and Dolly together is such an awesome combination – this movie can't lose!Although I wish Dolly would lose the address of her surgeon. We'll all love her as she ages. Really.WD

    I love QL and and love DP. The movie looked fun until Dolly Parton's horrifying surgically altered face came into view on the big screen. OH MY GAWD!! There's no way I can sit through two hours of looking at that. She needs to fire her plastic surgeon and sue him/her for malpractice.
