This is just taking the idea of stunt-casting to a whole new level. British
web site Life Style Extra is reporting that Indian director T. Rajeevnath will
be taking a trip across the world to try to convince socialite-turned-actress
Paris Hilton to star in his feature biopic of the late humanitarian Mother Teresa.
Rajeevnath's people have reportedly been in contact with Hilton's camp to set
up a meeting when Rajeevnath arrives in the States. According to Life Style
Extra, Rajeevnath will be bringing along various photos of Hilton that have
been altered to make her appear more like Mother Teresa, who died back in 1997.
"The pictures will be my strength when I speak to Paris," Rajeevnath
told the web site. "She has expressed delight that I have short-listed
her to play the role. This will make our meeting easier."
Rajeevnath hopes to begin shooting his Mother Teresa film early next year
with a budget of about $11 million. Hilton has been seen in several movie roles
over the last few years, including gigs in The Cat in the Hat and the
horror film House of Wax, which won her this year's Razzie Award for
Worst Supporting Actress. She's better known, however, for her work on the Fox
reality show The Simple Life and for 1 Night in Paris, the sex
video she made with former lover Rick Salomon. She is now working on the comedy
Pledge This! for helmer William Heins.
