Corset comes off in Boom Boom Room
June 5, 2007 
Dita Von Teese may be famous for parading in a corset, but the corset may be coming off as the burlesque dancer plays a stripper in a new film.
The Boom Boom Room, which is written and directed by Lian Lunson, will see von Teese in her first film role.
"It's the journey of an everyday family girl to the world of burlesque," producer Orian Williams explained in the Independent. "You see the transition. It's a beautiful family story, almost a fairy tale, about love and loss and gain."
The film will be shot in Texas on country singer Willie Nelson's ranch and the star will also feature in the film alongside von Teese. Mr Williams says of the location: "I say Willie's Ranch but it is more like a city. It's perfect for a desert town."
Katherine Helmond will also star as von Teese's onscreen mentor.
Meanwhile the corset may soon be replaced by a wedding dress as von Teese says she is set to marry again after filing for divorce from Marilyn Manson in December.
"I definitely hope to marry again. I believe in that kind of commitment," von Teese hinted recently. "And I saw some stunning wedding dresses in Paris."
