Idlewild is an American musical film, released August 25, 2006, written and directed by Bryan Barber. The film stars André Benjamin and Antwan A. Patton. Benjamin and Patton are best known under their respective stage names André 3000 and Big Boi of the hip hop duo OutKast, and Idlewild features musical numbers written, produced, and chiefly performed by OutKast. Idlewild contrasts OutKast's hip-hop/funk/soul sound against a story about a Juke joint in the fictional Depression-era town of Idlewild, Georgia in 1935
