The American Idol judge has signed on to produce his first feature film, the rather familiar sounding
Star Struck.
The music-themed project, inspired by 1980's classic Fame, will be set behind the scenes of a TV singing competition and will follow the 10 contestants vying to be crowned the winner.
"The story is told through the eyes of those 10 contestants," Cowell told the Hollywood Reporter. "We want it to be the musical version of Rocky—an underdog story, a feel-good film."
