Cher is joining the already cast Christina Aguilera in BURLESQUE, so reports Variety.Steven Antin will direct from a script he wrote that was revised by Susannah Grant.
Aguilera will play an ambitious small-town Iowa girl with a big voice who comes of age in a neo-burlesque club on Sunset Boulevard that's run by Tess (Cher), a former dancer who struggles to keep the club open and gives the young girl a chance to shine.
Cher will sing onscreen. While her voice has been heard in many films, "Burlesque" will mark the first time she'll be seen singing in a film she stars in. Cher last starred in "Tea With Mussolini" in 1999.
Donald De Line will produce. Production begins in November.
