Disco Dannii
From Sydney Confidential
She gave acting the flick years ago but Dannii Minogue is returning to her roots by starring in an Australian movie this year.The London-based popster, who is putting the finishing touches on her new album Heavy Disco, plans to return to in a few months to film Except East Richmond in Melbourne.
It will be her first major film role since Secrets opposite Noah Taylor in 1992.
While big sister Kylie remains in Paris recovering from breast cancer treatment, 34-year-old Dannii spent Christmas at home with the family and found time to meet with the film's screenwriter Michael Schiavello.
"We have had a couple of really great meetings with Dannii," Schiavello said. "She is really keen on the script and has been putting forward lots of ideas. "She is incredibly supportive and has been from day one."
Schiavello wrote the lead role with Minogue in mind and has been working on bringing it to the big screen for several years.
Described as a twisted love story, it will be directed by Pip Mushin, who had a tiny role in King Kong and directed the low-budget comedy Josh Jarman.
Former Picket Fences heart-throb Costas Mandylor has been confirmed to play the male lead opposite former Home and Away star Minogue.
"Costas is raring to go and has been training his heart out in LA to be ripped and buffed for his part," Schiavello said.
Meanwhile, Minogue has taken a fancy to pole dancing after a recent visit to a London strip club.
"I'm trying to work out how my London pad can accommodate a pole," she said.
"Although, with floor-to-ceiling windows, it's probably best for the neighbours that I don't."
