Cirque Du Salma

“USA Today” has recently revealed the first still of Salma Hayek as Madame Truska aka the Bearded Lady in writer/director Paul Weitz’ upcoming vampire thriller CIRQUE DU FREAK. What makes this particular Bearded Lady unique is her apparent lack of hair. Why she’s not rockin’ a killer beard in this particular still is unknown – maybe it’s just a trick to doop the audience, maybe she just grows hair at certain times of the day or maybe she’s really a superpowered mutant who can cloak unseemly hair at will – but at least they got the “Lady” part right. Salma Hayek is most certainly all lady. Lady and boobs. Really, those things are like the universe – ever expanding. The film centers on a young boy (Chris Massoglia) who somehow manages to break a two hundred year old truce between two vampire families. John C. Reilly, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Fugit, Ken Watanabe, Jane Krakowski, Ray Stevenson, Josh Hutcherson and Kristen Schaal co-star. No stateside release date has been set as yet.
