I found this story on Ananova today. Her lovely knockers must have played a part.
Sara Cox and Martin Kemp lined up for roles in new movie
Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox is to have a support role in a new movie produced by Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen.
Harvey Keitel, Martin Kemp and Dennis Hopper are also being lined up to appear in the heist movie Red Light Runners.
Madsen is currently in the UK trying to raise money for the film under a scheme that gives tax breaks to movie-makers.
Of Cox's role, co-producer Clark Westerman said: "Sara brings the blend of a strong female with the added value of a one-person marketing bonanza."
Madsen played Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs and is also working with director Quentin Tarantino on Kill Bill, for release next year.
He plans to film Red Light Runners in and around London.
The film will be directed by British music video maker Nick Egan, who has worked with Alannis Morrisette, Oasis, Duran Duran, Mick Jagger, INXS and Kylie Minogue.
For the scheme to go ahead, the producers want to raise £2 million by July 17.
Westerman said: "This is not a minority art film. It is aimed at the UK and US mass markets and it has the benefit of a list of well-known, highly respected actors.
Madsen said: "The UK has a reputation as a great place to make films and also to raise finance."
