Nia Vardalos became widely famous when she starred in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” Now, the Greek-Canadian actress and director is about to film another comedy in her hometown of Winnipeg.
The film revolves around four suburban friends who decide to start up a phone-sex line to make money. One of them, Nia Vardalos, is a serial marrier, while another one is a recently dumped wife. The other two are a 40-year-old virgin and a stalled executive, who are among the wanna-be businesswomen.
The four friends suffer from an economic downturn, which is why they came up with the strange but lucrative idea. The problem is none of them ever worked in the sex industry, so they hire a hooker to act as their advisor.
Sandra Oh, Emily Watson and Melora Hardin will also star in the film, which will be directed by Peter Hewitt, best known for the movies “Garfield” and “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.”
The film will be shot in Winnipeg in June and July and the producers, Su Armstrong and Brian Rosen, plan to screen it at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013.
