Selena Gomez and Leighton Meester are to star as friends in forthcoming new movie ‘Monte Carlo’.

Joining the young actresses are Katie Cassidy (’Melrose Place’) and Glee star Cory Monteith. Andie MacDowell and Nicole Kidman are also involved.

The film is an adaptation of Jules Bass’ young-adult book ‘Headhunters’ and will be directed by Tom Bezucha.

The story focuses on Selena who flies to Monte Carlo for a charity auction with her friends Meester and Cassidy, after being mistaken for a socialite.

Gomez recently said of meeting Kidman: “Nicole is the coolest person ever, and very sweet. So I was very happy!”

Filming will start this spring.
