Gwyneth Paltrow Shares the Screen With Nashville
I'd want to see Love Don't Let Me Down even if Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw weren't in it, because this movie is all about Nashville. In fact, writer-director Shana Feste wanted McGraw to be in the movie so much that the moviemakers were willing to come to Nashville for him. (Paltrow portrays a country singer. McGraw plays her husband.) Setting the movie in Music City also helped "ensure authenticity in regard to music, musicians and locations," Feste told The Tennessean, adding that Nashville's film and music community quickly became the fifth star of the movie. Songwriters like Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Luke Laird, Bob DiPiero, Tom Douglas, Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins have written tunes for the movie and hotshot producers Nathan Chapman, Frank Liddell and Byron Gallimore helped produce the film's music. And part of the movie is set in Barbara Mandrell's old house. I'm sure it will be the big names that pull people in, but it's that "fifth star" that I can't wait to see.

Will someone remind me when this movie comes out? I want to be sure I have my ticket to see Avatar before they sell out.
Meg says:
Remind me this movie comes out so I won’t see it. I mean really Gwyneth and Tim Mcgraw!? Nashville or not, this smells failure. Enough of the hillbilly films. The only good one was “Crazy Hearts”.
Regina says:
Oh, Meg you’re such a copycat!
Theresa says:
Wow, sounds boring. I see failure also. Hmm so Tim gonna be rolling around in bed again with another woman.
Tim went from a great story blind side to a this boring story. These type of movies are on lifetime or Hallmark all the time.

Love how people judge a movie they know very little about, typical. Lets see Tim’s been pretty good with his choices in movies, Blind Side has made 250 million and is in the Top 50 of ALL TIME best domestic grosses,its up for Oscar for best movie. Lotta jealously that is what I see.
Jessica says:
Tim didn’t make the movie a success. Sandra Bullock did! I don’t see Tim up for a Supporting Role. He did play the part well being from the South. Tim needed to gain 300lbs in order to make the story real!
mahalia says:
Great job on Good Morning America Tim, such a humble down to earth guy. Can’t wait to see you and Faith at the Oscars on Sunday.
Val says:
Tim was on Good Morning America and he sounded terrible. He talks instead of singing. I was not impressed with his music at all. The band was better all by themselves.
Lilly says:
Taylor Swift sings alot of songs written by Liz Rose.
mahalia says:
Tim and Faith will both be at the Oscars and Faith will be performing at the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductions March 15th that will air on TV.
truthteller says:
Oh Timmy! According to Mahalia, you’re reading this……lol! Mahalia is such a riot. She actually thinks Tim reads her comments. He thinks you’re just as delusional as we all do.
sticky ricky says:
I just love everything that Hillary Lindsey writes. know the movie will be great.
Kim says:
Gweneth is a excellent singer, this will be an awesome movie Im sure.
