ENT10Entertainment/International/CinemaHilary Swank goes Julia Roberts' way, plays a lawyerLondon, Oct 5 IANS Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank seems set to steal Julia Roberts' thunder with her new film "Betty Ann Waters", a legal thriller which will see her playing a lawyer. Thesun.co.uk reports that the movie is based on the true story of a single mother who became a lawyer in a bid to help clear her brother of murder. Like Julia in "Erin Brockovich", Swank too will play the title role in “Betty Ann Waters”. In real life, Waters was a high school dropout who refused to believe brother Kenneth was guilty of the 1983 murder of a Massachusetts woman. He was eventually exonerated and freed in 2001. Hilary won an Oscar for her performance in “Million Dollar Baby”. --Indo-Asian News Servicear/dg145 Words05101145
