Kimberly Elise, star of VH1’s new series Hit the Floor!, which was just renewed for a second season, is set co-star in the Lifetime movie A Day Late & A Dollar Short opposite Whoopi Goldberg and Ving Rhames.
Goldberg will also executive produce the movie, which is set to premiere in 2014.
Terry McMillan’s fifth novel, A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT, introduces the Price family matriarch Viola (Goldberg), her sometimes-husband Cecil, and their four adult kids (Paris, Lewis, Charlotte, and Janelle) each of whom sees life – and one another – through thick and thin, and entirely on their own terms. When she learns that her next asthma attack could kill her. Emboldened by that knowledge, she sets out to repair her fractured family.
Produced by Ostar Productions, the film will be executive-produced by Stephen Tolkin (“Perception,” “Brothers & Sisters”), Goldberg and Tom Leonardis (“Ruby’s Bucket of Blood”), Jeffrey Hayes (“Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King,” “The Starter Wife”) and Bill Haber (“Rizzoli & Isles,” “Beauty and the Beast”).
Tolkin will direct from a script by Shernold Edwards (“Haven”).
