Derek Luke Joins Paula Patton in ‘Baggage Claim’<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

Derek Luke<\/strong>, who will next appear in “Sparkle<\/a>,”<\/strong> is set to star as the long-time friend and neighbor to Paula Patton<\/strong>‘s character in Fox Searchlight’s “Baggage Claim<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

David Talbert<\/strong>, who penned the original novel, will helm from a script he wrote and is also producing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Published by Simon and Schuster, \u2018Baggage Claim\u2019 gives you a first-class peek into the wacky world of Montana Moore (Patton), a 35-year-old flight attendant with enough baggage from her past relationships to fill an entire Samsonite showroom. Montana is an incurable romantic. A dreamer. The kind of woman who has her head in the clouds while her heart splatters swiftly to the ground.<\/p>\n

With her mother having just tied the knot for a record-breaking fourth time and her baby sister, Sheree, rushing to jump the broom, five-time maid of honor Montana is dangerously close to becoming not only the oldest, but the only woman in her entire family never to be married.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Having convinced herself that there\u2019s no way in heaven or hell she\u2019s showing up at her sister\u2019s Christmas Eve engagement party without a prospect of her own, Montana concocts her wildest and most romantically ridiculous plan yet: a thirty-day, thirty-thousand-mile trek in search of a husband.<\/p>\n

Will it be Damon Diesel, a young hip-hop producer whose motto is \u201cMaking the green scream and the dolla holla!\u201d? Or will she win over the Reverend Curtis P. Merewether, pastor and founder of Greater House of Deliverance, Tabernacle of Praise, Worship, and Miracles? Of course Langston Jefferson Battle III, superattorney turned city councilman, needs a wife now that his sights are set on the United States Congress. Or perhaps her lifelong mate is Quinton Jamison, a multimillionaire textile guru twenty years her senior. Only time \u2014 or the lack of it \u2014 will tell.<\/p>\n
