Derek Luke Lands Part In ‘Baggage Claim’

Derek Luke is set to star in the upcoming film Baggage Claim.

Baggage Claim is based on a flight attendant (Paula Patton), who is the oldest unmarried woman in her family. After her baby sister gets engaged, she realizes that she is the only one who hasn’t tied the knot yet. Thereafter, she becomes determined to find a man in 30 days. Luke plays her close friend and neighbor.

David Talbert, who penned the novel, wrote the script and is also producing.

Here’s Amazon’s description of the Talbert’s novel:

Pledging to keep herself from being the oldest and the only woman in her entire family never to wed, Montana embarks on a thirty-day, thirty-thousand-mile expedition to charm a potential suitor into becoming her fiancé. Whom will she choose? Damon Diesel, a P. Diddy wannabe; Reverend Curtis P. Merewether, pastor of Greater House of Deliverance, Tabernacle of Praise, Worship, and Miracles; pompous attorney-turned-councilman Langston Jefferson Battle III; or Quinton Jamison, a multimillionaire who’s twenty years her senior?

The movie will start shooting in September.
