LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Could an Academy Award be in the cards for 'N Sync's Lance Bass? With the new romantic comedy On the Line, featuring Bass and 'N Sync mate Joey Fatone, due out next month through his A Happy Place production company, the pop singer's second film project, The Children of Willesden Lane, will focus on more serious subject matter: a Holocaust survivor who grew up to be a famous pianist.
"It's a true story, and Anne Hathaway is attached to it," Bass says. "I mean, she's the next Julia Roberts. It's one of those Oscar-type films. It's gonna be big."

The emotional drama centers on the extraordinary life of twelve-year-old Jewish refugee Lisa Jura, a Viennese native who escaped to England through the Kindertransport program and eventually won a scholarship to London's Royal Academy of Music.

Bass has met with Jura's daughter, Grammy-nominated concert pianist and radio host Mona Golabek, who wrote the book on which the movie is based.

Wendy Thorlakson, the film's producer and Bass's partner in A Happy Place, calls the project "The Sound of Music for this generation."

Bass won't be a major onscreen presence in the film, but he might have a "little, bittie" part. As for his next acting role, he says he would also like to deal with more serious subject matter. "The next part I want to do is some crazy, insane character - like an alcoholic or something," he says.

Bass and Thorlakson founded A Happy Place in January, and their first feature film, On The Line, hits theatres October 19th. According to Thorlakson, they will then begin shopping The Children of Willesden Lane to different film studios.
