Free to play a role in Dreamgirls?

I don't know how true this is, but it seems like Free has already landed a minor role in the upcoming film "Dreamgirls." She is supposedly cast alongside Tamyra Gray and Vivian Green as the "Stepp Sisters"--the girl group from the original play who beat the Dreams in the first talent contest. We're just going to have to wait and see how this pans out. I believe the movie begins filming on January 8, 2006.
