LA, Aug 16: After making her feature film acting debut in Ang Lee's 1999 drama "Ride With the Devil," singer Jewel is now readying a follow-up. The singer will star in "Wave," an independent film about a mother reconnecting with her adult son after spending time in jail for a crime of passion committed when he was a child. Jewel will play the son's girlfriend.
She is developing and producing the project through her Gravitas Entertainment banner, which she runs with her mother and former manager, Lenedra Carroll.
Gravitas acquired the "Wave" script from David Rothmiller, and brought it to Cosmic Entertainment, which houses the production entities of Goldie Hawn and her family. Cosmic is in the process of securing financing for the film, and Hawn's Clearlight Prods. is on board as a producer.
Rothmiller was a co-producer of "Jewel: Live in Concert," which aired on DirecTV.
