TV Trailer: ‘STAR’ [Lee Daniels Drama Starring Queen Latifah]

Filmmaker Lee Daniels continues to build his television ‘Empire.’

As the creator of the hit FOX show, he has this week unveiled his latest offering ‘STAR.’

Again rooted in the realm of music, the series (which stars Queen Latifah) is set in Atlanta and tells the tale of three talented singers who are desperate for a new start. With ambitions of stardom, the show follows the ladies as they navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success.

Watch the first look trailer below. Lenny Kravitz and Benjamin Bratt also star.

Hmm.

Looks like it has potential, but it’ll need to avoid the soapy ridiculousness that’s presently ruining ‘Empire’ for us to be full aboard.
