But perhaps the most interesting part of this story (at least for an 80s movie geek like me), is that the film is being directed by Steve Antin. Antin has an impressive resume of 80s “That Guy” roles including Andy’s asshole boyfriend Troy in GOONIES, one of the rapists in THE ACCUSED and, of course, Jessie in the “Jessie’s Girl” video.
But back to BURLESQUE, Bell joins the previously cast Cher and Stanley Tucci in the project which begins filming this November for a Thanksgiving 2010 release. She can be seen starting today in COUPLES RETREAT.
