16/04/2007 - 13:06
ER's Thandie Newton is one of three actresses apparently battling it out for a role in the Life On Mars sequel.
Producers have drawn up a shortlist of babes to stars as Detective Chief Inspector Alex Drake In Ashes To Ashes, according to the Daily Star.
And ER beauty Thandie, New Street Law's Lisa Faulkner and Bad Girls' Liz May Brice are in the running for the role it seems.
An insider said: "Life On Mars was such a success that these gorgeous women will do anything to land the job. They know it will be huge."
Ashes To Ashes will once again star Philip Glenister, 44, as unreconstructed chauvinist DCI Gene Hunt.
But the series will move from the 1970s to the 'New Romantic' 80s and from the streets of Manchester to the capital.
The drama has been described as a "touch of Moonlighting teamed with a measure of Miami Vice".
