BRIT STAR GEMMA ARTERTON TAPPED FOR 'THE WRIGHT GIRLS' REMAKE ROLE

The lovely Gemma Arterton -below ('Tamara Drewe') has been hired to star as one half of an unscrupulous couple of actresses who'll do anything to get each other out of the way in order for them to secure a new movie role. The story is based on the 2003 Japanese thriller '2LDK' written by Yuiko Miura and Yukihiko Tsutsumi and will be produced by Relativity Media and Atlas Entertainment. The studios are attempting to secure 'Race to Witch Mountain' helmer Andy Fickman for directorial duties on the project from a script penned by Bert Royal ('Easy A'). Arterton, star of upcoming fantasy thriller 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' and vampiric tale 'Byzantium', will play one of the actresses in the comedy thriller whilst the other young lady is yet to be cast. Stay tuned for more.

"The story revolves around two young actresses who live together, pretend to be best friends and are co-stars on a successful television show. In reality, they detest each other and go to extreme and violent lengths to do one another in when they end up competing for the same movie role. The role of the other actress has not been cast."
