Might Be Dazzler in X3 & Spinoff
Is it a little nutty news? Or is it the truth? A scooper at Dark Horizons reports to the site:...what took me off guard is how our paper goes on to say how Jessica is possibly auditioning for a role as a superhero called Dazzler. The article goes on to say that producers were impresses with a small audition tape that the singer-actress sent them upon request, and will possibly give her a small role in the 3rd X-MEN movie as a lounge-singer, to introduce the character of Dazzler, in hopes to extend the character's role in future films.
Don't take this all with a grain of salt. There are a couple X spin-off projects that Marvel and 20th Century Fox have been putting in the early stages and Dazzler might very well be one of those. We previously received word from a source that the studio was hoping to debut certain characters in the third film, to spin them off into other franchises featuring solo characters and teams. While we were never given the specifics as to who these characters were, Dazzler seems to be a strong possibility, and there could actually be truth to the story.
But can Jessica Simpson, a singer with barely any real acting experience pull off starring in her own film? And if producers are accepting audition tapes for the Dazzler character, then what other actresses have tried out? Stay tuned for more on this possible true story. [/B]
