The film stars André 3000 and Big Boi of the hip hop duo Outkast and features musical numbers that were written, produced and chiefly performed by the group. Idlewild contrasts the group's hip-hop, funk, and soul sound against a story based on a juke joint in the fictional town of Idlewild, during the Great Depression in Georgia in 1935. ## Credits - **Director:** [Bryan Barber](https://cinepixo.com/people/bryan-barber) - **Screenplay:** [Bryan Barber](https://cinepixo.com/people/bryan-barber) - **Original Music Composer:** [John Debney](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-debney) - **Producer:** [Charles Roven](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-roven) - **Director of Photography:** [Pascal Rabaud](https://cinepixo.com/people/pascal-rabaud) - **Editor:** [Anne Goursaud](https://cinepixo.com/people/anne-goursaud) ## Cast - [André 3000](https://cinepixo.com/people/andre-3000) - [Macy Gray](https://cinepixo.com/people/macy-gray) - [Paula Patton](https://cinepixo.com/people/paula-patton) - [Terrence Howard](https://cinepixo.com/people/terrence-howard) - [Ving Rhames](https://cinepixo.com/people/ving-rhames) - [Bobb'e J.
