Carrie Underwood used "American Idol" to vault from obscurity to musical superstardom; now it appears she might use music to nudge her way onto the silver screen.
US magazine reports she hinted recently that her next project might well be a film, and there's clearly some interest in her on Hollywood's part. "I'm not going to say what I turned down," Carrie noted. "We have had some offers for different things, but nothing has really felt right."
At the moment, she'd be happiest if she could tackle something with a light, comedic air. "I know I am not going to be the lead role in some drama," she said, "but if a small fun part comes open, then yes."
She might want to talk to Ricky Schroder, who's been writing a screenplay "about an up-and-coming Nashville star who falls in love with a young bull rider," he tells GAC. "It's going to be a good opportunity for a singer to prove her acting ability."
Ricky hasn't necessarily had Carrie in mind for it, though. He said he intends to discuss the script with Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift.
