Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland (Freddy vs. Jason) is in final talks to star as the female lead opposite Duane Martin in the indie feature The Seat Filler for director Nick Castle. The project goes into production Saturday in Los Angeles. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are executive producing.
"Filler" will see Martin star as Derrick, a struggling, unemployed man who is studying for the bar exam. To make ends meet, he works as a seat filler for various awards ceremonies. While occupying the seat of a high-powered entertainment attorney, Derrick meets his dream girl, Jhnelle (Rowland), a gorgeous superstar who is performing at the event. To Derrick's amazement, Jhnelle falls hard for him too. There is one problem: Jhnelle is under the mistaken impression that Derrick is a wealthy lawyer, not a lowly seat filler.
Martin co-wrote the project with Mark Brown and Tisha Campbell.
