Katherine Heigl is set to star in a new movie once her television show “Grey’s Anatomy” goes on hiatus in May. The actress will make her big screen appearance in “27 Dresses” as a bridesmaid.
The film follows Heigl, a young woman who has been a bridesmaid a total of 27 times without ever marrying herself. On her 28th bridesmaid experience, she attends her sister’s wedding, who happens to be walking down the aisle with a man she loves.
“27 Dresses,” which is currently in pre-production, will be directed by Anne Helmer and feature a screenplay by Aline Brosh McKenna of last year’s hit “The Devil Wears Prada.”
Filming locations are scheduled to take place in New York and Rhode Island, beginning in May.
The star is also set to star in Jude Apatow’s “Knocked Up,” a comedy about a guy who finds out he impregnated a girl from the local bar after having a one night stand.
