Salma Hayek is a bearded lady FREAK!

by Matt Holmes

Variety say that in her first deal since she got pregnant, Salma Hayek has agreed to join the movie which we said in November would be led by John C. Reilly, an actor who just recently failed to carry his first leading role with WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY. Reilly stars as a vampire who hires a 14 year old girl as his assistant and sucks her into a undead state.. to fight on his side in the war between Vampires and Vampanese. Hayek will play Madame Trusk, a.k.a. The Bearded Lady. The movie is based on the successful Paul Shaun series of books, of which there has now been 12 published... all have been picked up by Universal. Shooting is set to begin next month. CIRQUE DU FREAK will mark the solo directing debut of Paul Weitz, as the previous films he was worked on AMERICAN PIE, ABOUT A BOY, IN GOOD COMPANY and AMERICAN DREAMZ he co-directed with his brother Chris.
