See a Sultrier Side to Hilary Duff

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Political, Casting, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

The Lizzie McGuire star isn’t Disney’s property anymore. Hilary Duff will soon be steaming it up on the big screen, in a role which could propel her out of the lighthearted teen parts of her past.

Duff plays a pop star in War, Inc, but there’s nothing bubble-gum about her performance - at least, not in the clip that’s making the rounds on the Internet. In the film, John Cusack plays a hit man who is using Duff as a cover story. Marisa Tomei and Ben Kingsley co-star. The movie will hit theaters May 23, but the clip of Duff’s scorpion scene is available right now.

Greta is currently being filmed on location in New Jersey and features Duff as a waitress who falls for a cook (played by Evan Ross). Their romance is fraught with obstacles put in place by her grandparents (Ellen Burstyn and Michael Murphy play the roles) who have an aversion of the cook’s criminal past. The dramatic tale of interracial love is a far different story from Duff’s previous movie acting credits, which include Cheaper by the Dozen and Agent Cody Banks.
