Los Angeles: Hollywood actress Vanessa Hudgens is set to star as a pregnant teen in indie drama Gimme Shelter, alongside Brendan Fraser. The film is being written and directed by Ron Krauss and production will start by the end of this month in Connecticut, said The Hollywood Reporter.
The script centers on a pregnant, homeless teen who flees her abusive mother and seeks out her biological father. He first takes her in but then throws her out when she refuses to abort her child. Fraser is the girl's dad, who fathered her as a result of a youthful fling.
Hudgens shot to fame with Disney's High School Musical movies before moving to Zack Snyder's ensemble fantasy Sucker Punch, and she has New Line's family adventure movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island opening in September.
Gimme Shelter will be her first purely dramatic feature role.
Fraser, who coincidentally starred in the first Journey to the Center of the Earth film, was last seen inFurry Vengeance.
