One diva makes her overdue return to movies. The other makes her film acting debut. So who’s excited about Burlesque](Burlesque (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), the hot new musical that brings together **Cher**and Christina for a sparkly, glamorous and wild Fosse-esque song and dance spectacular? I left off the latter’s last name (Aguilera) because so does the film’s poster, which we’re happy to debut down below. It’s full of hot pink and what I think is a lightbulb-adorned – though it could also be rhinestone-studded – title vertically separating the legend on the left from the newer star on the right. The film’s tagline acknowledges the distinction between divas, too: Cher’s side says “It takes a legend,” which continues on Christina’s side, “… to make a star.” Kind of meta.
In Burlesque, Aguilera is a small-town girl trying to make it big on the stage of Cher’s L.A. club, The Burlesque Lounge, but first she has to put in her due as a cocktail waitress. The musical also features Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming, Kristen Bell, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet and *Dancing with the Stars *winner Julianne Hough. It was written and directed by Steve Antin, who you may best know as the jock, Troy, in *The Goonies *or as the screenwriter of Sidney Lumet’s *Gloria *remake (he also co-produced the Pussycat Dolls reality show). As the poster says, it opens this Thanksgiving.Filed under: Music & Musicals, Movie Marketing, Images
