"Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara is ready to swipe Hollywood off its feet with her upcoming movie "Hot Pursuit." The TV star will be seen along with the award winning actress Reese Witherspoon in the new comedy.
With the upcoming flick, the TV star is set to become the net big thing in the movie world, according to Latino Fox News. In "Hot Pursuit," she portrays the role of Daniela, the widow of a drug trafficker whom the police officer, played by Witherspoon, protects on a madcap chase through Texas.
The unlikely pair will be seen handcuffed together for the most part of the action comedy flick as Witherspoon tries to protect her from dirty cops and the cartels.
The movie is set to release on May, 8 and its promotion tour is in full swing. The two actresses have reportedly bonded well and are on a joint tour to market their movie. Daily Mail reported that the press tour started on Sunday when the two actresses boarded a private plane in Los Angeles for Texas and then to Arlington so as to make an appearance at the ACM award night. Afterwards the actresses again flew from from Dallas to Florida.
The movie is directed by Anne Fletcher of 2009's "The Proposal" fame which starred Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. The movie is expected to offer some great laugh as petite blond inept female cop tries her level best to protect fiery and fashionista widow of the drug dealer while delivering her to Dallas courtroom safely.
The Combodian-American has previously appeared in other films, including "Four Brothers," before becoming a household name for the show "Modern Family" and "Dirty Sexy Money." The upcoming movie is a major landmark in the actress' career. Catch the amazing trailer below.
Unlike Vergara's soaring acting career at the age of 42, the actress is having troubles in her personal life. The millionaire TV star is in feud with her ex-fiance, Nick Loeb, over the custody of their frozen, and microscopic, embryos.
Loeb has filed a lawsuit accusing the actress of seeking to thaw, and destroy, the two female embryos which are stored in a Beverly Hills fertility clinic.
