Zellweger delays Joplin role

Published Saturday, Oct 23 2004, 15:19 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Renee Zellweger, star of Bridget Jones' Diary, is delaying plans to play rock icon Janis Joplin, because she has yet to be impressed by any of the scripts offered to her.

IMDB claims that Zellweger said, "We talked about that a couple of years ago, developing a script and seeing if it is good enough.

"She is an exceptional woman and it needs to be an exceptional script to tell her story in a responsible way, to have her story told the way it needs to be told. And that takes time. If I am ultimately the person to do it, then great.

"We are in the stage of developing it and pulling it together. For now, I've got no start date and I am not getting in a make-up chair any time soon."

Joplin will apparently be played by Pink in a rival project about the 60s star.
