Big Boi and Andre 3000 are set to release a new album on December 6. MTV.com reports that the album, which is tentatively titled Idlewild, will be the soundtrack for OutKast's forthcoming feature film of the same name. The lead single from the set is "Idlewild Blues." Big Boi said, "I'm dead serious, we're cocked and loaded. The movie's done, too. And it's crazy."

No release date has been set for film, but Big Boi is confident that OutKast fans will love it. He said, "The movie is dope. It's like an OutKast album but on film, which will make the fans happy. It's like two stories going at the same time. I've seen two rough cuts, and it's outstanding. We've got Ving Rhames, Ben Vereen, Cicely Tyson, Terrence Howard, (and) Patti LaBelle. We would show up every day suited and booted thanks to Mr. Giorgio Armani. Tailor-made to fit."

In the Bryan Barber-directed film, Big Boi's character is involved in a love triangle and has to choose between his dream of being a businessman and his family. Andre 3000's character falls in love with someone from out of town, which motivates him to follow his dream.
