Denise Richards will star in "A Beautiful Life," a drama to be directed by Argentine filmmaker Alejandro Chomski in Los Angeles this summer. Chomski recently helmed "Reggaeton" for Sony BMG and Jennifer Lopez's shingle Nuyorican.
Richards, who plays opposite Pamela Anderson in the upcoming "Blonde and Blonder," will play an exotic dancer. Role is a first for Richards who moves from broader mainstream pics to an edgy indie film. She joins male lead Jesse Garcia ("Quinceanera"), Dana Delany, Debi Mazar and Michael Madsen in the cast.
