KRISTEN BELL TO STAR IN NEW DANCE COMEDY
KRISTEN BELL is bringing another dance film to the big screen ahead
of her debut in BURLESQUE - the actress is set to star in upcoming
independent comedy DANCE OF THE MIRLITONS.
The Heroes actress has signed on to the Evan Greenberg film, about
an ambitious, slightly overweight ballerina with an overbearing
mother, played by Bell.
The part of Bell's daughter has yet to be cast.
Producer Dubiecki tells the Hollywood Reporter, "Kristen's
combination of comedic timing and authenticity will bring this
character to the next level, and give this crossover appeal."
Bell will show off her dance skills in November (10), as the rival
to Christina Aguilera's dancer character in movie musical Burlesque.
Shooting on Mirlitons is scheduled to begin this winter (10). (JMA/HR/MJ)
