For Cooper, this project would mark another milestone in his musical film career, following the success of A Star Is Born (2018), where he starred, directed, and contributed to the unforgettable soundtrack. His participation promises to infuse the film with star power, making it an event no one will want to miss.

With the stellar talents of screenwriter Anthony McCarten (whose past credits include The Theory of Everything and Bohemian Rhapsody), this biopic has the potential to become a timeless cultural landmark, forever immortalizing the Bee Gees’ musical legacy for generations to come.

THEY TOLD HIM TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP. HE STOOD UP AND SANG LOUDER. He wasn’t your typical polished Nashville star with a perfect smile. He was a former oil rig worker. A semi-pro football player. A man who knew the smell of crude oil and the taste of dust better than he knew a red carpet. When the towers fell on 9/11, while the rest of the world was in shock, Toby Keith got angry. He poured that rage onto paper in 20 minutes. He wrote a battle cry, not a lullaby. But the “gatekeepers” hated it. They called it too violent. Too aggressive. A famous news anchor even banned him from a national 4th of July special because his lyrics were “too strong” for polite society. They wanted him to tone it down. They wanted him to apologize for his anger. Toby looked them dead in the eye and said: “No.” He didn’t write it for the critics in their ivory towers. He wrote it for his father, a veteran who lost an eye serving his country. He wrote it for the boys and girls shipping out to foreign sands. When he unleashed “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” it didn’t just top the charts—it exploded. It became the anthem of a wounded nation. The more the industry tried to silence him, the louder the people sang along. He spent his career being the “Big Dog Daddy,” the man who refused to back down. In a world of carefully curated public images, he was a sledgehammer of truth. He played for the troops in the most dangerous war zones when others were too scared to go. He left this world too soon, but he left us with one final lesson: Never apologize for who you are, and never, ever apologize for loving your country.
