LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Will & Grace" star Debra Messing will play Drew Barrymore's sister in "Lucky You," a love story set in the world of professional poker.
Curtis Hanson ("8 Mile") is directing the Warner Bros. comedy-drama, which is scheduled to begin shooting next month in Las Vegas.
Barrymore plays a singer in a Cirque du Soleil-type show. The siblings meet a professional poker player (Eric Bana) who is dealing with his estranged father. The script was written by Academy Award-winning scribe Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump").
Messing is currently in theaters with "The Wedding Date," which has grossed more than $26 million since its Feb. 4 release. She won an Emmy for her work as Grace Adler in "Will & Grace," which is in its seventh season on NBC.
