Caffeinated Clint
But she’ll have to do it anyway
Ugly Betty’s “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2” deal is getting, well, Ugly.
Actress America Ferrera may be in negotiations to reprise her role as Carmen in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” but according to The Hollywood Reporter, she’s being forced into the film.
The actress, whose star turn in the ABC series has catapulted her to cover-girl status, is being forced to the negotiating table by the film’s producer Alcon Entertainment, which exercised its sequel option on Ferrera, along with her co-stars, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel and Blake Lively.
According to the trade, the actress had been eyeing a starring role in “An Invisible Sign of My Own,” a film in development at MGM, sources added.
When “Traveling Pants” hit theaters, Ferrera received third billing behind TV starlets Tamblyn (“Joan of Arcadia”) and Bledel (“Gilmore Girls”). Now, Warners and Alcon are fast-tracking a sequel based on Ferrera’s newfound star power. “Traveling Pants 2” will start shooting in June, coinciding with Ferrera’s “Ugly Betty” hiatus.
