American Idol loser Katharine McPhee has signed on to star in "The Last Caller" some indie dark romantic comedy.

Kat will play a self-obsessed woman in search of love, hope, meaning and blah, blah, blah. Shooting begins this fall in New York.

Katharine said:

"This is the first thing that I read that I really wanted to do. I'm up for a couple of big studio projects, but they weren't starring roles. I wanted to start off doing something a little different. It's something that a lot of people wouldn't expect me doing."
