PAMELA ANDERSON - ANDERSON FILM GOES STRAIGHT TO DVD

ANDERSON FILM GOES STRAIGHT TO DVD

PAMELA ANDERSON's new film has been released straight to DVD just days after the actress confessed she was surprised it was getting a theatrical release. The former Baywatch babe insists she took the role of a bubbly blonde, mistaken for a killer, so she could have fun in her native Vancouver, Canada with her brother Jerry, the film's director, and co-star Denise Richards. But studio bosses initially felt sure the comedy would be a hit, and planned a cinema release. Anderson admitted, "I thought, 'It'll go direct to video. It'll be fun. No one will ever see it.' "Now it's, like, hitting theatres, so I'm really surprised. I didn't know you could make a movie in nine days but you can." But now U.S. publication the Globe reports Anderson's initial instincts were right - the film won't hit big screens.
