Salma Hayek To Star In William H Macy Film

In a movie news update, actor William H Macy is reportedly set to make his feature film directorial debut. Helping to make his job a little easier, actress Salma Hayek has agreed to a starring role in the film ‘Keep Coming Back’.

The academy-award nominated actress will play the role of an alcoholic ex-stripper, according to Contactmusic.

The story, written by Will Aldis, is about “a good teenager with a bad heart condition and a crush on Hayek’s stipper character, who is twice his age. He opts to join her Alcoholics Anonymous group just so he can be in the same room with her,” according to imdb.

The film is supposedly also starring rapper Mos Def, Steve Buscemi and William H Macy is planning on playing along with his directorial duties. The film is scheduled to begin shooting this summer (July) in LA.

In a side note, working behind the camera is not new for Mr. Macy. The Emmy-winning actor previously directed a made-for-HBO movie in 1988, ‘Lip Service’. He also was an executive producer for Transamerica, which starred his wife, Felicity Huffman.
