20th Century Fox has provided Blackfilm.com some exclusive pics of Viola Davis, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and Ving Rhames from the upcoming film, ‘Won’t Back Down.’
Directed by Daniel Barnz, the film also stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Holly Hunter, Rosie Perez, Oscar Isaac, Lance Reddick, Dante Brown, and Bill Nunn.
“Won’t Back Down” is an original story about two strong women (Gyllenhaal and Davis), both mothers, who channel their frustration into action and join forces to transform an inner-city school. They want to make a difference in education and the lives of their children.
Jean-Baptiste is the head of the Board of Education in the film. Hunter will play the head of the teacher’s union. Oscar Isaac will play Michael Raymond, a sexy, ukulele-playing teacher who helps inspire, challenge and romance Gyllenhaal’s character throughout the film. Perez will play a former teacher who is now the poised-yet-frank head of the school board, while Reddick will play Davis’ husband who’s also a teacher.
Won’t Back Down hits theaters on September 28, 2012.
