For those looking forward to the musical Burlesque–starring Christina Aguilera, Cher, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, Eric Dane, and Stanley Tucci–seven images from the film are now online. The movie is about a small-town gal (Aguilera) who runs away from Iowa in search of fame and ends up waitressing at The Burlesque Lounge on the Sunset Strip and goes on to become one of its performers. The film was written and directed by Steven Antin with input on the script provided by Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) and Diablo Cody (Juno).
Hit the jump to check out the images. Burlesque opens on November 24th.
Here’s a synopsis compiled from USA Today‘s photo gallery:
Aguilera’s Ali runs away from Iowa in search of fame and ends up waitressing at The Burlesque Lounge on the Sunset Strip. That is until Kristen Bell’s headliner, Nikki, shows up tipsy one night and Ali must fill in. Ali helps turn what once was a lip-sync club into a singing-and-dancing revue after she displays her vocal fireworks onstage in numbers like But I’m a Good Girl. Cher is Tess, owner of a retro club who has a modern-day problem: She can’t make the payments on her over-mortgaged property. Together, Ali and Tess manage to transform the Burlesque Lounge into a success. Stanley Tucci is Sean, the lounge’s stage manager, a go-to guy for the gals and best friend to Tess. Every night, Tess and Sean put together the costumes for that evening’s performance. Other men in the cast include Cam Gigandet (Twilight) as Jack, Ali’s piano-playing love interest; Eric Dane as entrepreneur Marcus, who tries to woo Ali away; and Alan Cumming as Alexis, the gender-bending doorman.

No Kristen Bell? Dumb.
It looks really great. Much better production values than I thought it would have. Some of the shots actually kind of remind me of “Chicago.” Christina's acting ability is the only real question mark, but there is some amazing talent involved so I'm not too worried.
Looks & sounds like Showgirls meets Glitter. I can not fucking WAIT for this shit!!!!
Definitely consider that which you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to have in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects , folks can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
