(showbizspy.com ) - Britney Spears has been lined up to play a killer lesbian stripper in Quentin Tarantino's next movie project.
The Toxic singer -- who recently lost custody of her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline -- is said to be Tarantino's first choice to play a deranged dancer called Varla in the remake of 1965 cult film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
A movie insider said, "Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant.
"Britney is delighted, she thinks it could turn her career and her life around. A successful film could help her get out of her current nightmare.
"It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She's playing the most important character."
In the film, Varla -- who was originally played by Tura Satana -- murders a man with her bare hands and also has sex with girls.
Spears, 26, starred in the critically-panned 2002 movie Crossroads, about three friends who get together and bury a box.
