I like Eva Longoria. Besides the fact that she’s stunningly beautiful, she also has some decent talent (too bad The Sentinel so badly misused her). It looks like she may have signed up for the wrong project yet again, How I Met My Boyfriend’s Dead Fiance.
The good folks over at Digital Spy give us this:
The Desperate Housewives actress will co-star alongside Paul Rudd and Lake Bell, according to Variety. She will play the ghost of Rudd’s dead fiance, who attempts to keep him away from a female psychic who falls in love with him, despite the fact that he is a skeptic.
This isn’t meant as any sort of knock on Longoria at all… but I think she’s more positioned to do dramatic roles. I just don’t see her really working in a comedy per se. And is it just me… or does this project feel a little too much like “The Corpse Bride”? Yuck.
I think Longoria can have a really solid film career in her future… but if she doesn’t pick the right roles and right projects for herself… she’ll just end up being the next David Duchovney or David Caruso… a TV star who COULD have had a major big screen career… but lost it because of poor project choices. We’ll see.
