Hill and Kidman to star in Stepford Wives

Country singer Faith Hill is joining Nicole Kidman in the rapidly-expanding cast of the remake of The Stepford Wives, which is due to begin filming in June.

The dark comedy, about a woman who moves into a neighbourhood where husbands have transformed their wives into robots designed to cater to them, was first filmed in 1975 and is based on Ira Levin's novel of the same name.

Oscar-nominated Catch Me If You Can star Christopher Walken and Oscar-winner Glenn Close are to play the civic leaders of Stepford while John and Joan cusack have also joined the cast, playing residents of the town, reports Daily Variety.
