Eva Longoria lands 'Dead Fiance' part

Eva Longoria has signed up for a ghostly role in the new film How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiance.

The Desperate Housewives actress will co-star alongside Paul Rudd and Lake Bell, according to Variety.

She will play the ghost of Rudd's dead fiance, who attempts to keep him away from a female psychic who falls in love with him, despite the fact that he is a skeptic.

Filming will begin in late August in Hollywood, and Longoria will have a packed schedule working on the project at the weekends while shooting Desperate Housewives on weekdays.
