Milla Jovovich, Former Stripper
Get ready Milla Jovovich fans -- on top of her zombie butt-kicking ways, and thrillers in paradise, Variety reports that the actress is entering the already-packed halls of stripperdom by signing on for a new comedy called Keep Coming Back. The film focuses on a young, sheltered (and, well, stupid) guy who joins Alcoholics Anonymous just so he can seduce an alcoholic former stripper (Jovovich). While the neverending hordes of new stripper films never fails to irk me, there's a silver lining to the story. The film will be the directorial debut of William H. Macy, who will also co-star alongside Jovovich and Steve Buscemi. I imagine neither of these men are the young guy, so we still get to wait and see who gets the honor of breaking into AA for lust.
Man, time flies. I remember the days when Milla's sexy roles were dancing around for George Kuffs and killing time in the paradise of the Blue Lagoon. Will Aldis wrote the screenplay, and the film will jump into production next year.

I've never seen Milla in a comedy, though I know she was in one (About a ventriloquist I think). William H. directing + Steve Buscemi?! Awesome.

MCW -- Dummy with Adrien Brody. I really liked her in it..
But you haven't seen Kuffs, or Zoolander, or Dazed and Confused? Granted, she only got to strut her comic chops in Zoo and Dummy.

I'd have to disagree...while yes she was in those films, her roles weren't comedic

Dunno, I'm guessing it was. I was so bored with it's ridiculous mythology, I couldn't get more than 15 minutes into it.
