Uma Thurman bags movie role

Uma Thurman is teaming up with Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler for a new movie. The Kill Bill actress will join the duo in football comedy Playing The Field.

Butler will star as a former football player who finds himself dodging romantic advances from ’soccer mums’ after he agrees to coach his son’s team, in an attempt for some father-son’s bonding.

Biel will play the Bounty Hunter star’s ex-wife, while Thurman is a fellow parent in the Gabriele Muccino-directed film, co-produced by Gerard and penned by Robbie Fox.

The movie is scheduled to start production in March.

Thurman recently admitted she didn’t like being married to Robert Pattinson in the upcoming film Bel Ami.

The actress, 40, admits getting hot and heavy with the hunky 24-year-old made her feel like a cougar.

“In the last movies, I only have romantic relationships with younger guys,” Uma said.

“Of course I’m very disturbed by the fact that Robert Pattinson played my husband.”
