Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria is setting herself up for a serious case of overwork by signing up to shoot a film while also working on the TV show.
She’s joining The 40-Year-Old Virgin’s Paul Rudd and Lake Bell (TV’s Surface) in the comedy How I Met My Boyfriend’s Dead Fiancée. The plot sees a female psychic (Bell) falling for a sceptic(Rudd) even as his departed former lover (Longoria) tries to keep them apart. Longoria will give up her weekends to shoot the film while getting to the set of Housewives during the week. She plans to sleep in 2007.
Former TV writer Jeff Lowell is penning the script and making his directorial debut with the film. It all sounds like Ghost meets So Haunt Me to us, but we’ll wait and see how it turns out.
