Russell Brand is set to star in a new 'Carry On' film.
The 32-year-old comedian is in secret talks to play a Simon Cowell-style music impresario alongside stars including Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding in 'Carry On To The Next Round', the first film in the famous British comedy series for 16 years.
A source said: "Lots of stars have been sent scripts for the new 'Carry On' film. It's a romantic comedy involving three judges on a reality talent show who argue constantly. One of them then falls for a contestant. Russell's role is based on Simon Cowell."
Harding - whose band Girls Aloud shot to fame on reality singing show 'Popstars: The Rivals' in 2002 - is expected to play Viv, the contestant who steals Brand's heart.
It would not be the first time the pair have starred in a movie together.
Last year, Brand and Harding both featured in 'St. Trinian's', another big screen revamp of a classic British comedy.
The new 'Carry On' film is also expected to feature 'The Office' star Martin Freeman and 'Gavin and Stacey' actor Matthew Horne.
