Jamie Lee Curtis returns to our screens


After quite a lengthy break, Jamie Lee Curtis is set to return to the world of filmdom.

The “Halloween” and “True Lies” favourite has joined the cast of Walt Disney Pictures’ lost-dog comedy “South of the Border.”, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Curtis joins Piper Perabo as the only other live-action character in the film. The rest of the cast, which includes Drew Barrymore, George Lopez, Andy Garcia, Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Paul Rodriguez, Placido Domingo, Edward James Olmos and Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo, will lend their voices to the Raja Gosnell-helmed project.

Penned by Jeff Bushell and Analisa Labianco, the story centers on a spoiled Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Barrymore) who becomes lost in Mexico and must rely on her new friends to help her get back home. Curtis will play Aunt Viv, the dog’s owner.

Curtis hasn’t appeared in a film for a couple of years – and even then, her appearances were fleeting (such as her cameo in Tom Arnold’s “The Kid & I”).
