HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com) – "Will & Grace's" Debra Messing has signed on for her first feature leading role in Clare Kilner’s "Something Borrowed" for Gold Circle Films.

Written by first-timer Dana Fox and co-starring Dermot Mulroney, the story centers on Kat Ellis (Messing), who returns to her parents' London home for her sister's wedding. Afraid of confronting her ex-fiancé, who dumped her two years before, she hires a top-drawer male escort (Mulroney) to pose as her new boyfriend.

Nathalie Marciano, Michelle Chydzik and Paul Brooks are producing "Something Borrowed," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Messing last appeared on the big screen in Woody Allen’s "Hollywood Ending." She’ll be seen next in John Hamburg’s "Captured" opposite Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston.

Production on "Something Borrowed" is set to begin next month.

In a desperate attempt to face the ordeal with dignity, Kat hires a top-drawer male escort (Mulroney) to pose as her new boyfriend, only to realize that pretend relationships could be more nerve racking that facing up to the truth.
