Hilary Duff stars in 'She Wants Me'

It's been a while since we last saw Hilary Duff on the big-screen, but she's back in action in "She Wants Me," an indie flick written and directed by Rob Margolies ("Lifelines"). The film has started shooting.

Variety says "Me" follows a writer named Sam (Josh Gad), who's doing a feature film and runs into trouble when Duff's character wants to play the lead he already promised to his girlfriend (Kristen Ruhlin).

Sounds interesting. Also appearing in the film is Charlie Sheen, who will play himself in a short bit. As for Duff, she's still attached to "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde." She recently starred in "According to Greta."
