Shania
Twain Makes Jump to Big Screen in "I ♥
Huckabees" Thanks to Jude Law
It took a letter from
Jude Law to persuade Shania Twain that it
was time to be in a movie. The country superstar
has a small cameo in David O. Russell's
"I ♥ Huckabees",
playing herself.
"She's an amazing global icon who is right smack in the middle of what they call the golden average," said the director of his choice to cast the singer. "She tickles me."
In "I ♥ Huckabees",
a film about a hapless environmentalist's
quest to solve some existential questions,
Shania Twain is tabbed to be the celebrity
guest at a fundraiser to save a marsh. The
night of the event she lashes out at a selfish,
power-obsessed organizer, played by Jude
Law. Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Mark Wahlberg,
Naomi Watts and Jason Schwartzman also star
in the film.
"She lives in a castle in Switzerland
and Jude Law wrote her a letter asking her
to be in the movie - on his own, he didn't
tell me till later," explained Russell,
whose previous projects include Flirting
With Disaster and Three Kings.
"She came and she was a doll. She did whatever
we wanted for a day and for a superstar
who didn't know us, she did the crazy stuff
we asked her to do. She was a good egg,"
he added. "I ♥
Huckabees" opens October 1 in select
theatres.

Meredith
Henderson to Become Shania
Ottawa-born actress Meredith Henderson, best known for starring in the youth TV series The Adventures of Shirley Holmes, will take on the role of Canadian pop-country star Shania Twain in the upcoming CBC-TV movie, filmmakers announced Wednesday.
"She commands the camera," director Jerry
Ciccoritti told the Canadian Press. "Can
she sing? Yes!" Ciccoritti recently explored
northern Ontario shooting locations in Sudbury,
Huntsville and Timmins and filming is set
to begin September 20. However, Ciccoritti
said he wasn't sure if the film – which
will detail the transformation of Eileen
Twain into Shania from 1973 to 1993 – would
be completed in time for the 2004-2005 season.
The 20-year-old Henderson won a Gemini Award
in her early teens for the Shirley Holmes
series, in which she portrayed a descendent
of the legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
