Miranda Lambert is Heading to the Big Screen

Miranda Lambert has won several awards as a singer - Grammy Awards, CMA Awards and ACM Awards, CMT Awards ... to name a few. During the 2011-2012 run of Law And Order: SVU (the 13th season), she made her television acting debut in the episode titled "Father's Shadow." She's also a business owner (2 Pink Pistol stores, a bed-and-breakfast in Oklahoma that is slated to open this year, a wine company, (Red 55 Winery), a shoe brand (Miranda by Miranda Lambert Shoes) and she's recently signed a deal to put out a clothing line of affordable jeans and T-shirts next year, followed by a similar endeavor for dog accessories. On top of that, she is an animal advocate who founded the MuttNation Foundation with her mom, Bev. Now, she will be adding actress on the big screen to that long list of accomplishments.

Miranda is teaming up with music video director Trey Fanjoy and screenwriter Cindy McCreery on a comedy called Something In The Water. With a storyline that is a cross between Bridesmaids and Steel Magnolias, the tale finds five women going up against their men in a bass fishing competetion in America's heartland.

This isn't the first time that Miranda and Trey have worked together. Fanjoy goes all the way to Lambert's video beginnings, directing her first music video and directing all of the videos for her hits ever since (think "Kerosene," "The House That Built Me," "Fastest Girl In Town," "Over You," "Mama’s Broken Heart" "Automatic" and "Somethin’ Bad" with Carrie Underwood).

Trey is, hands down, the most celebrated female video director in the country music business. She has been behind the wheel on music videos from everyone from Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, George Strait and Jack White to Jimmy Buffet, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Sheryl Crow, Steve Earle, Taylor Swift and Trisha Yearwood. Last year, Fanjoy won directing awards for both Male and Female Videos of the year from the Country Music Television Awards. If she directs Something In The Water as her debut feature film, it's bound to be a hit.
