Alicia Keys, known for her songs of love, strength and womanhood, will step way out of her comfort zone if cast as a cold-blooded assassin in the new film 'Smokin’ Aces.'
MTV reports that the multi-platinum artist is in talks to make her acting debut in the film opposite Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Piven, and in a smaller role, Ben Affleck.
Keys would play a hit-woman hired by the mob to hunt down a standup comic (Piven) planning to testify against the underworld organization, but not if FBI agent (Reynolds) can get to the comedian first. As Reynolds' character attempts to bring the joker into police custody, the comedian insists on entertaining one last Tahoe crowd.
“Smokin’ will be directed by Joe Carnahan in his first effort since his critically acclaimed 2002 drama 'Narc.'
Meanwhile, Keys is also slated to star as biracial piano prodigy Philippa Schuyler in a film based on the book "Compositions in Black and White" for Sony Pictures. No word yet on when either film is slated to begin production.
