Ashley Benson, best known for her role as Abbie on TVs Days of Our Lives, has signed to star in the third sequel to the Kristen Dunst/Eliza Dushku comedy “Bring it On”. She’s playing the captain of a cheerleading squad (like… duh).
This one, titled “Bring it On : In it to Win”, is based on a screenplay by Alison Flouse. Steve Rash (“Bring it On : All or Nothing”, “American Pie Presents : Band Camp”) will direct.
Apparently Ms Benson quit her secure TV gig for the movie. The actress says on an AOL blog (to think I go looking for this stuff), “These [Bring it On] movies have been very successful and I'm very excited about it. My dance training also helped me get the part. I had to start dancing again right away when I knew I was up for it.
“I haven't been dancing in years due to my acting schedule. I had high hopes I could do this one because we gave 5 weeks notice ahead of time. I have to film for 9 weeks. DOOL was not happy I would be gone 9 weeks and I asked if they could recast me until I came back that wasn't an option. I was very upset to hear this news. I decided I would have to give up the movie. The tables turned because i fell ill and I was also emotionally upset and the producer called and asked if I would like to do the movie and be out of my contract early! I was Happy and Sad at the same time but very happy to move on. I think they understood about my lack of storyline and my future goals as an Actress”.
No word on what this one’s about…. But I’m going to take a punt and say it’s about a group of teeny cheerleaders who suck in their tummys and give it their all…. So they can win the big championship. I’m also guessing there will be a cute boy to contend with for one of them. Maybe a smarmy adversary, too.
Jennfier Tisdale (“High School Musical”) will join Benson in the sequel.
