Geri Halliwell has written a movie script. The former Spice Girl - who has also penned a series of children's books about fictional character Ugenia Lavender - claims she was inspired by British TV presenter Jonathan Ross' wife Jane Goldman, who adapted Neil Gaiman's novel 'Stardust' for the big screen.

Geri said: "Jonathan Ross' wife wrote 'Stardust' and I thought, 'Oh wow, I'd like to do that.' "

The 36-year-old mother-of-one says the creative process of writing for film was really enjoyable.

She said: "It is pretty incredible to finish it - the first draft. I got somebody to teach me using a programme called Final Draft.

"I've got a few friends who are screen writers and they said to write the premise of it first - like the whole story of it."

This is not the first time Geri has turned her attention to movies.

She appeared in the much-derided 'Spice World' - along with her bandmates Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Mel C - and will feature in the upcoming 'Crank 2' alongside Jason Statham. (c) BANG
