Still eager to attach herself to film industry, supermodel Naomi Campbell is poised to play a lead role in a romantic comedy feature titled "Bad Love", Vogue Paris has reported.

Expected to come up in October or November this year, the flick centers on an actress who gets unlucky in love. Taking director's chair is Catherine Breillat, a French filmmaker known for her distinctively personal films on sexuality, which earns her the "porno auteuriste" label.

Breillat is said to pick up Campbell as the star for the movie because she was "touched by Naomi's modesty and humility." Campbell, the first black model to grace the cover of Time magazine, has appeared in a number of either small or big screen productions since late '80s, the latest being Antoine Fuqua's 2006 short feature "The Call."
