Kim Basinger in talks to play Zac Efron’s mum in ‘Charlie St. Cloud’

Got it goin' on

See, and all of you thought she was dead.

Kim Basinger, the star of Batman, Nine 1/2 Weeks and L.A. Confidential, is currently holding talks to star in Universal’s upcoming drama The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud.

If the talks hold and Ms. Basinger is paid $1 for every perv that has watched The Getaway alone over and over, then the beauty will play the grieving mother of Zac Efron’s (he left Footloose for this role) glum character. Efron will play a cemetery caretaker who has weekly meetings with a lad who blames himself for an accidental death. <jazz hands>

The film is directed by 17 Again’s Burr Steers.

This isn’t new territory for Basinger who has also played mother-dearest to Eminem’s Jimmy ‘B-Rabbit’ Smith in 8 Mile.

I’m proud of myself for successfully avoiding MILF jokes….damn.
