Cramming them in before the Actors strike.

Nicole Kidman aka the woman who works so much she should look at getting herself cloned, has signed on to star in “Monte Carlo”, a rom-com about some dull and bored teachers who ‘hysterically’ pose as wealthy women while holidaying in the glittery and star studded tourist resort/tax haven of Monaco (hence the title).

I know, I know….Nicole trying out a rom-com again. When will she ever learn? Thoughts like these are flying through your head faster than you can say “Bewitched”, but wait…..there is more!

In an interview with Fox 411 Kidman said that Julia ‘flash those gums and make a million’ Roberts may be joining her as on of those teachers. And if Roberts signs on, we’d expect to see another A-lister take the third role.
The director for the project Tom Bezucha has already shown, with The Family Stone, that he can handle a starry ensemble casts. Sure that film was schmaltzy, but I really enjoyed it, and thought SJP did a wonderful job.

The film is based on the Jules Bass novel ‘Headhunters’ which goes by this premise:

” Four middle-aged friends from New Jersey decide to spice up their lackluster lives by vacationing in Monte Carlo and posing as four of the wealthiest women in the world in this slight but stylish romantic caper. Darlene, Eleanor, Irene and Carla are hunting for wealthy bachelors and a little excitement. Decked out in rented designer costumes and borrowed jewels, they enter the stomping grounds of the rich and famous and are immediately accosted by a quartet of handsome, suave men bearing white caviar and expensive champagne. The setup is perfect, too perfect; the men, who claim to be filthy rich, are really imposters themselves. Love is inevitable between the duly-matched couples, but less predictable is what will happen when the truth is finally laid bare.”

The film has been criticized for having thread bare characterization. Lets hope the screenwriter, who ever they may be, adds some depth. Perhaps seek out Aline Brosh McKenna who was able to get blood out of stone in 2006.

If Roberts signs on, we should see another top female added to the mix. This will give the chance to these actresses who are knocking on 40’s door to show the young starlets how to really shake things about.
Kidman needs a hit and Julie needs her rom-com crown re-attached to her head. Who should get the other roles? Catherine Zeta Jones needs a big hit, and Halle Berry could do with having some fun on screen and staying away from the thriller sect.
But I have someone in mind. Someone who would be perfect, is of the age and could really benefit from being in a huge hit.
