Beyonce Knowles wants to star in 'Sister Act'

Beyonce Knowles wants to star in 'Sister Act'.
The 'Single Ladies' singer is so desperate to dress up as a nun for a remake
of the 1992 movie - which was recently turned into a sell-out musical in
London's West End theatre district - she is begging Disney bosses to take up
the project.
Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reports: "Beyonce has asked her
representatives to persuade Disney to develop the show into a film vehicle
for her.
"If this comes to pass, she would take on, in musical form, the part Whoopi
Goldberg creates in the 1992 'Sister Act' film, although the stage version
moves the action from the West Coast to Philadelphia."
The 27-year-old beauty recently took a break from her UK 'I Am Sasha Fierce
tour' to watch the show at the London Palladium theatre.
If the movie project goes ahead, Beyonce will play sexy singer Deloris Van
Cartier - the role previously portrayed by Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg
- who is forced to dress up as a nun while fleeing a group of gangsters.
Beyonce is also in talks about releasing 'Take Me To Heaven', one of the
musical's well-known hits.
Filming will not start until after 2011, following the musical's move to New
York's Broadway theatre district in late 2010.
US actress Patina Miller is currently playing the lead character in the West
End musical which was co-produced by Whoopi.
