Back Away From The Crappy Rom-Com, Kristen

Oh dear. My beloved Kristen Bell has signed on for her next project... a romantic comedy type deal from the director who brought us... sigh... Ghost Rider and Daredevil. Via DH:

"Former "Veronica Mars" star turned "Heroes" baddie Kristen Bell will star in "When in Rome" for Disney Pictures reports the trades.

Bell will play a successful real estate agent in New York City who can't find a lasting relationship.

When her younger sister impulsively marries in Rome, she flies out for the wedding and, after picking up coins from a reputed "fountain of love," finds an overabundance of suitors waiting for her back home.

Mark Steven Johnson will direct from his own script. Shooting begins March 31 in New York and Rome."

Oh... oh dear. I want to follow you anywhere, Kristen... but you're making this... difficult. A story hinging on a "reputed fountain of love"? Good gravy, woman. Insert woe-filled speech about the roles out there for women right on here, please.

When In Rome suggests an interesting movie and suggests a little Bell-debauchery, but since I know it's a romantic comedy and its from Disney, this looks sucky.
