Samuel L. Jackson walked the red carpet with the cast of Soul Men at the world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem Tuesday night. While it was a night for celebration the memories of co-stars Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes -- was foremost on people's minds. "This is in my opinion the perfect last film for Bernie," said Sam. "We see him do something we've never seen him do -- sing and dance. I hope everybody's excited about it -- it's such a wonderful film. Getting up every day and seeing Bernie -- he was like the funniest grumpy old man in the world; we loved him." It was definitely a family affair on the red carpet, and relatives of both Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes came out to support their Soul Men performances. Bernie's wife Rhonda, daughter J'Neice and grandbaby Jasmine came in from Chicago, and J'Neice reflected, "I just remember growing up laughing with [my dad], and just him always being my protector." As for Jennifer Hudson, a fellow Chicagoan, she said, "I reached out to her yesterday to let her know that my prayers are with her."
In theaters November 7, Soul Men finds Sam and Bernie singing and dancing as a pair of backup soul singers who haven't spoken to each other in 20 years. But when they're invited to perform at a tribute concert for their famous former band leader, the two curmudgeons reluctantly agree to travel cross country together for the honor. The film culminates at the Apollo Theater.
