Britney Spears is set to play a killer lesbian stripper in Quentin Tarantino’s next movie.
The troubled singer is Tarantino’s first choice to play a deranged dancer called Varla in the remake of 1965 cult film ‘Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!’.
A movie insider said: “Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant.
“Britney is delighted, she thinks it could turn her career and her life around. A successful film could help her get out of her current nightmare.
“It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She’s playing the most important character.”
In the film, Varla - who was originally played by Tura Satana - leads a trio of violent strippers and kills a man with her bare hands.
Tarantino is now trying to persuade two other leading Hollywood beauties to sign up.

Quentin Tarantino has a strong feeling he was William Shakespeare in a former life. The director feels he was born to write because it’s in his soul, and though he’d never seriously suggest he’s prolific Shakespeare reincarnated, Tarantino can’t rule the possibility out.
He tells GQ magazine, “I’ve always had a thought maybe that I might have been Shakespeare in another life. I don’t really believe that 100 percent, and I don’t really care about Shakespeare, I’ve never been into Shakespeare, but then people are constantly bringing up all of these qualities in my work that mirror Shakespearean tragedies and moments and themes.
“People have written lots of pieces about the parallels of my work and Shakespeare. I remember in the case of Reservoir Dogs, writing this scene where the undercover cop is teaching Tim Roth how to be an undercover cop, and when the actors came in to rehearse it, Harvey Keitel read it, and he thought I had just taken Hamlet’s speech to the players and broke it down into modern words. I’d never read Hamlet’s speech to the players.”
The moviemaker also thinks he was a black slave in America and a Japanese gentleman in former lives.
