Sissy Spacek Will Direct Sweet Tea

Drink this news up: Actress Sissy Spacek will step behind the camera for the first time in her 40 year career to direct an adaptation of Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky by Julia Oliver. The film -- renamed Sweet Tea, apparently to keep with the liquid theme -- "centers on various families and relationships in Depression-era Alabama" with a supernatural tinge. [LAT/24 Frames]
