As we know, Christina Aguilera is very bad at whatever she does. She was bad at music when she did that. She is bad at marriage. And now it appears she is going to be bad at movies. From Variety:
Christina Aguilera will make her screen debut for Screen Gems in "Burlesque," a contemporary musical that Steven Antin will direct. Antin wrote a script that was revised by "Erin Brockovich" scribe Susannah Grant.
Aguilera will play an ambitious smalltown girl with a big voice who finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club that appears to be right out of Bob Fosse's "Cabaret."
"I couldn't be more excited, as this was a project written with her in mind," Screen Gems topper Clint Culpepper said.
Oh good. A movie starring Christina Aguilera called Burlesque sounds terrible, but if it was written with her in mind then I am sure the dialogue just crackles on the page.
