Here's our female lead, folks...

And we're happy (and lucky) to have her....

Double duty for Dawson
Thesp's got 'Passion' for the Weinsteins

By MICHAEL FLEMING

Rosario Dawson will star in the twin bill "Killshot" and "Passion of the Clerks" for the Weinstein Co.

Dawson, who'll next be seen in the Chris Columbus-directed screen adaptation of the Broadway musical "Rent," starts "Killshot" next month and will bounce from that film to "Passion of the Clerks," the sequel that was written and will be directed by Kevin Smith. Scott Mosier is producing.

There it is - which makes our "Clerks 2" leads: Brian O'Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Rosario Dawson, Trevor Fehrman, Jennifer Schwalbach, Jason Mewes, and Kevin Smith.

Rosario's pitch-perfect for this role, and wait 'til you see how she fits into the Askewniverse...

If you've never seen Spike Lee's "25th Hour", go watch it. It's a great film, and Rosario's fantastic in it.
