Perez Hilton reports Jennifer Aniston will be singing in the upcoming film The Goree Girls, which she will star in and produce. Michael Sucsy will direct the movie, based on the John Lee Hancock novel set in the 1940s about eight female prison inmates in a country band in Texas.

“She can sing. And she’s going to learn how to play the Dobro guitar,” said Sucsy. “These women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments. They weren’t these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together. That’s what’s interesting about it. It’s not just like, ‘Hey, you can play the guitar, I can play the piano, I can play the harmonica. Let’s put a band together.’ It’s like, ‘We have to get out of jail, and if we have to put a band together to do that, then that’s what we’re going to do.’”

The film is still in pre-production, and will cast professionally trained musicians to accompany Aniston in the musical numbers.
