Black Voices reports that Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, upcoming The Karate Kid) is in talks to star in writer/director/producer David E. Talbert’s Baggage Claim at Fox Searchlight Pictures.
The film, based on Talbert’s 2005 novel, is about a single flight attendant who jets around the country in search of a husband.
The story centers on the thirty-something Montana Moore, who, frustrated with being single, embarks on a 30-day, 30,000-mile barnstorm across America to find an appropriate suitor. Along the way she encounters several interested prospects, including a preacher, a politician and a tycoon.
