“Desperate Housewives” actress Felicity Huffman has signed up to star in the big screen adaptation of “A Politician’s Wife.”
Unsurprisingly, Felicity - who plays Lynette Scavo in the hit TV series - is to play the spouse of a leading politician in the film which is based on the award-winning ’90s British TV series of the same name.
A source told Britain’s Mail On Sunday newspaper, “The sexual shenanigans, which happened at Whitehall were brilliantly depicted in the British version and filmmakers are keen to replicate this in the U.S. The White House is a hotbed for sexual intrigue and Felicity will be perfect as the tortured but ultimately triumphant politician’s wife.”
The Channel 4 TV series - which starred Juliet Stevenson and Trevor Eve - focused on the story of a woman who discovers that her husband, a member of the British Parliament, is having an affair with a former prostitute.
The movie version is expected to hit screens in 2008.
