::Ashley Scott and Kristen Wilson are Walking Tall:: May 15, 2003
Ashley Scott and Kristen Wilson have nabbed the female leads in MGM's updated version of the 1973 actioner Walking Tall for director Kevin Bray and Hyde Park Entertainment, says The Hollywood Reporter. Shooting is scheduled to start in July.
The film centers on a Tennessee sheriff (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) and his one-man mission to remove corruption from his county. Neal McDonough also stars as Hamilton, the main nemesis to Johnson's character and the man at the center of the corruption. Scott will play the sheriff's love interest in the small town, and Wilson will play his sister.
David Klass wrote the update of the project. Scott is best known for her role on the short-lived WB Network series Birds of Prey. She recently completed a role in Columbia Pictures' S.W.A.T. and the indie horror film Trespassing. Wilson is best known for her role as Eddie Murphy's wife in the "Dr. Dolittle" franchise.
