Susan Boyle to make feature film debut
SHE'LL STAR IN JOHN STEPHENSON'S 'THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE.'
Susan Boyle dreamed a dream, but it seems her reality is even grander.
The global singing sensation, whose 2009 Britain's Got Talent performance of the Les Miserables songI Dreamed a Dream made her an international household name, will make her feature film debut in John Stephenson's The Christmas Candle, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film, which also stars Hans Matheson (Clash of the Titans), Samantha Barks (Les Misérables) and Lesley Manville (Another Year), is a story of angels, candles and Christmas wishes set in 1890 and based on the novella of the same name by Max Lucado.
No word on what role Boyle will play, but the singer says she is looking forward to her first foray into movies. "Everyone on set is a delight to work with and it's a fantastic experience to be part of the team," Boyle said in a statement. "I'm really enjoying getting dressed in the period costumes and stepping back in time and although it's very cold filming on location, I'm wearing long johns under my bustle."
