Where The Red Dave Grows

By John Athayde
Updated at 12:30pm Ain't It Cool News is reporting today that Dave Matthews has accepted his first feature film role, playing a role in the remake of Wilson Rawls' "Where The Red Fern Grows." If the title sounds familiar, it should. It's the book that many of us read in middle school. Mr. Matthews will be working with director Lyman Danton and actors Dabney Coleman, Joseph Ashton, Renee Faia, and Ned Beatty. More detailed info on cast and crew is available from imdb.com and should be updated every Monday morning. Dave continues in the footsteps of musical artists who dabble in film, who recently include Jewel (Ride With The Devil), Alanis Morrisette (Dogma), and Madonna (Evita). More to follow.
