Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler will appear as himself in the upcoming film "Be Cool," the sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty."

The 2002 book "Be Cool" was written by Elmore Leonard, who included Aerosmith as characters in his story. Leonard met them after one of their shows in August 1997 and was so taken that he asked if he could write them into his book.

In "Get Shorty," the main character, Chili Palmer, was a mobster who traveled to Hollywood to collect on a debt and discovered the corruption and lunacy of the movie business. "Be Cool" details Palmer's experiences in the music business, in which he encounters a murder and has various run-ins with rockers, mobsters and a bodyguard who wants to be a singer.

"Be Cool" is being directed by F. Gary Gray ("The Italian Job") and stars John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Christina Milian and Vince Vaughn. Andre 3000 plays the leader of a rap group called the Dub MDs and other musicians are being courted.

By the way Elmore Leonard also wrote the novel Rum Punch which was the base for the movie Jackie Brown .....Directed by Quentin Tarantino....which i think still was his best.....and even better than Pulp Fiction....
