Michelle Pfeiffer to star in Hairspray
Michelle Pfeiffer will join John Travolta, Queen Latifah and Amanda Bynes for the big-screen adaptation of the stage show, Hairspray - which is based on John Walters‘ 1988 comedy about teenagers obsessed with a television dance show.
Michelle Pfeiffer will play the villain, Velma von Tussel, who is a former beauty queen-turned-bitter-television producer.
Director Adam Shankman said: “I’m going to dress and wig Michelle to death on this one.” Shooting kicks off in Canada this September and the film is scheduled to be released December 2007.
