The Daily Starlet reports that Kristen Bell has been tapped to play a STAR WARS geek on a cross-country road trip to Skywalker mansion to see EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Based soley on that information, I guarantee that this movie will be a hit (unless the producers to something to alienate the built-in Star Wars geek-base). This will be the first feature from director Kyle Newman and the film is set up at The Weinstein Co. In addition to her regular gig on VERONICA MARS, Bell can next be seen in the U.S. remake of PULSE. The Starlet also has photos of Kristen Bell from the upcoming issue of MAXIM... if you’re interested in that kind of thing.
