I Like The Sound Of This
Let’s hope The Shankman can stay in his Hairpsray mode. This looks promising…
(Variety) – Keri Russell has landed the female lead opposite Adam Sandler in Disney’s “Bedtime Stories.” In the comedy, Russell will play a potential love interest for Sandler’s character, a harried real estate developer whose life is suddenly turned upside down when the lavish bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew become real. Adam Shankman (“Hairspray”) is helming the pic, scripted by Matt Lopez, that’s set to start lensing in February, and will get a holiday 2008 release under the Walt Disney Pictures banner.
Keri Russell has been around for, what, a dozen years now? And I never, ever found her appealing until I saw Waitress last year. Now I’m a huge fan. I thought she got better-looking for Mission: Impossible III (I always thought she looked like Chris O’Donnell with an admittedly luscious wig), but I recently re-watched that movie and found her to be spectacularly gorgeous. It’s amazing how someone can become so much more appealing when you see some talent.
Anyway… nobody asked.
