Julianne Hough To Co-Star With Russell Brand In New Movie

With “Burlesque,” “Footloose” and the recently wrapped “Rock of Ages” big-screen adaptation under her acting belt, Julianne Hough’s film career is in full momentum. The dancer-turned-singer-turned-actress has signed on for her next movie project, co-starring once again with funnyman Russell Brand, who’s also in “Rock of Ages.” Julianne will star as a young woman who loses herself in the perversion of the Las Vegas nightlife, following her loss of faith after surviving a plane crash. Her character finds an unlikely companion, portrayed by Russell, who helps the troubled woman on her path to self discovery. Julianne’s untitled movie project is the directorial debut for Diablo Cody, who won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2007 for “Juno.”
