Christina Aguilera will be making her bigscreen debut in "Burlesque" for Screen Gems. Steve Antin is set to helm the contemporary musical and wrote the script which was then resived by Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich").
Apparently, Aguilera will play an ambitious girl from a small town with a powerful voice who manages to gain success, love and family in an LA club which is like Bob Fosse's "Cabaret."
Donald De Line will produce and the film is said to start shooting late this year.
Antin has helmed just a single film in "Glass House: The Good Mother," a video release starring Angie Harmon, Joel Gretsch and Jordan Hinson.
