Sexy starlet Eva Longoria will star in “Lower Learning,” a comedy set in an elementary school, alongside Jason Biggs and Rob Corddry.
The Hollywood Reporter announces that Eva Longoria will play a school inspector investigating scandalous allegations about a suspicious elementary school principal portrayed by Rob Corddry.
Longoria’s character will team up with a former boyfriend – “cop-turned-vice principal,” says the Hollywood Reporter, played by Jason Biggs. Corddry's “Daily Show” colleague Ed Helms co-stars with Kyle Gass and Monica Potter.
Principal photography begins this month, reports the HP, and the film is scheduled for a U. S. release next year by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The project marks the feature debut of writer-director Mark Lafferty.
Eva Longoria, 32, fully proved her taste for comedic projects earlier this month, when a supposed sex tape of her and husband Tony Parker surfaced on the Internet. What was initially speculated to be a scandalously sexy video eventually turned out to be a spoof on actor Will Ferrell’s “Funny or Die” website.
“I'm so amused. It's so funny. Oh, my gosh. I've gotten like 100 calls on it saying it's so hilarious,” Eva told Ryan Seacrest during his KIIS-FM radio show at the time, clearly enjoying the joke. She went on to say that she made the spoof with comedian Perry Hilton, who imitates socialite Paris Hilton.
The sex tape was supposed to star Eva and her NBA star hubby but, as the actress put it, she and Tony are “very square” and would not film themselves in the bedroom. Parker nevertheless found the skit “freakin’ hilarious,” as Eva put it: “It's like the non-sex video because we don't have sex. It's so funny. Tony thought it was so freakin' hilarious. But it's a skit.”
The “Desperate Housewives” actress announced last week that her name is now officially Eva Longoria Parker, as she has legally – and happily, judging by her account - adopted her husband’s name.
Longoria joined Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the 2006 thriller film “The Sentinel;” she also appeared in 2006’s crime drama “Harsh Times” alongside Christian Bale and Freddy Rodriguez. Longoria had a cameo in the recently released “The Heartbreak Kid,” starring Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan.
