Light-footed Lopez considers new dance role
Jennifer Lopez is talking with British director Peter Chelsom about starring with Richard Gere in Chelsom’s romantic comedy Shall We Dance? according to the Hollywood Reporter newspaper.
In the romantic comedy, which is a remake of a 1996 Japanese film, Gere would play a man who takes ballroom dancing lessons to impress a beautiful young dance teacher.
Chelsom, whose previous films include Hear My Song, The Mighty and Town And Country, wants to begin production in June.
The film is being financed by Miramax, which acquired the original film in 1997 and began developing the English language version shortly afterwards, says the Reporter.
