Zellweger's "Cinderella" Story
The shoe fits for Renée Zellweger. And then some.
The actress, who razzle-dazzled her way to an Oscar nod in last year's Best Picture winner Chicago, is trading in her pumps for a plum part opposite Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man, studio officials confirm to E!
Universal Pictures and Miramax are joining forces to reportedly pay the actress a whopping $21 million for her participation in both Cinderella and the already in-the-works sequel to her 2001 hit Bridget Jones's Diary, which the studios are cofinancing, according to Daily Variety. As part of the deal, Universal will supervise domestic distribution, while Miramax will handle all overseas releases.
In Cinderella Man, the Texas-born Zellweger will duke it out as the wife of boxer Jim Braddock (Crowe), who becomes a legend after winning a vicious 15-round match against heavyweight champion Max Baer in 1935 during the throes of the Great Depression.
The film reunites Crowe with A Beautiful Mind helmer Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer and Oscar-winning scribe Akiva Goldsman (who rewrote a draft of the script from Cliff Hollingsworth and Charlie Mitchell) and is set to shoot next spring.
Before Cinderella, though, Zellweger will shoot Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, the much-ballyhooed sequel from Working Title Films, that will reteam her with costars Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
That comedy, adapted from Helen Fielding's follow-up novel of the same name, will be directed by Beeban Kidron (Swept from the Sea) and is slated to start filming in October.
In between Jones and Cinderella, Zellweger is scheduled to star as drugged-out rock icon Janis Joplin for Paramount Pictures.
Meanwhile, audiences can next catch Zellweger opposite Jude Law and Nicole Kidman in the Civil War drama Cold Mountain, due out this Christmas.
