Stanley Tucci to be part of 'Burlesque'

Stanley Tucci will star alongside Cher and Christina Aguilera in Screen Gems’ "Burlesque," the musical to be directed by Steve Antin.

According to Variety, Antin wrote the script, which was revised by Susannah Grant.

Donald De Line is producing through his De Line Pictures production company. Production begins Nov. 9, and the film is set for a Thanksgiving release next year.

Aguilera plays an ambitious small-town girl with a big voice who finds success in a burlesque club. Tucci will play the manager of the Sunset Boulevard club and the best friend and confidante of Tess (Cher), a former dancer who takes the young girl under her wing. The film marks Cher's first movie starring role in a decade.
