This and That next for Bahrani


August 31, 2007 Acclaimed writer-director Ramin Bahrani will make the darkly comic drama "Solo" for executive producers Ted Hope and Anne Carey of This Is That Prods. The award-winning creator of "Man Push Cart" and the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival entry "Chop Shop" will dramatize the friendship between a Senegalese cab driver named Solo and an ornery 70-year-old man named William, who will be played by Elvis Presley "Memphis Mafia" member Red West in his first starring role. Bahrani wrote the screenplay with his "Shop" collaborator Bahareh Azimi and is producing the project with Gigantic Films' Jason Orans.
