VON TEESE TAKES ON HARI

Burlesque beauty DITA VON TEESE is set to take on the role of exotic dancer MATA HARI in MARTHA FIENNES' forthcoming biopic of the tragic star.

DITA VON TEESE

Von Teese - real name Heather Sweet - has only appeared in a handful of small film roles to date, but director Fiennes believes she is already primed for the role.

Fiennes says, "Dita has done a little acting before and I think she can handle it. In fact, I approached her myself. She is perfect for the part."

But Von Teese will have plenty of time to practice for the role - the filmmaker doesn't plan to start shooting until late 2008.

She adds, "I have written the script but it will probably need some developing, so I don't expect filming for another eight to 10 months."

Hari - born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle - was executed in France in 1917, after she was exposed as a double agent during World War I.
