Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis are slated to star in Still I Rise, a drama about two frustrated women who seek to transform an inner-city school. Just yesterday, I suggested Viola Davis join some female-centric movies, and this is pretty much a match. I am always weaving cinematic futures here at Movieline. Always! Remember when I told Ellen Page to join a Woody Allen movie? Done. I ain't Sister Aloysius, Viola -- I have no Doubt. [Deadline]
