The Movie Part Of Greg Allman Announced

And the winner is? William Hurt! That's the actor Hollywood has chosen to play the aged and finely tuned Gregg Allman in the upcoming movie Midnight Rider. Which is based Greg's memoir ‘My Cross to Bear.’ ‘Midnight Rider’ digs into the early days of the Allman’s. And won't be the typical flick that barely beats with the rhythm of truth. Greg says he’s got his hands on the script and has no problem throwing down a southern veto. Production begins in Savannah next month. __________ You know this song.
