With his music career decidedly on the skids, Nick Jonas has turned to acting as of late - and his latest role will take the fresh-faced pop idol into uncharted territory.

The Jonas Brother has joined Isabel Lucas in the upcoming erotic thriller "Careful What You Wish For," in which he'll play the lead role of Doug, a young man who embarks on an affair with the wife of an investment banker (Lucas) and later finds himself in hot water when the woman's husband turns up dead - with a substantial life-insurance policy in tow. The film, which is set to be directed by "Aquamarine" helmer Elizabeth Allen from a script by Chris Frisina and Gregg Hurwitz (ABC's "V"), will be the singer's first leading role in a feature film.

The project, described as being in the vein of "Body Heat" and "Basic Instinct," is slated to begin filming on April 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Jonas had a four-month run in last year's Broadway revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

I can not wait to see this movie; it's such a different character from anything Nick's ever played before. He's going to be amazing!! On another note "music career on the skids" what? He was on Broadway last year, Les Mis in 2010, and did NJATA. Also, he and his brothers are releasing an album soon just because he's doing other projects doesn't mean his musical career is failing.

- ceggertsen If you look at the numbers, the Jonas Brothers' last studio album underperformed, and Nick's "solo" album flopped no matter how you slice it. To say his music career is on the skids isn't an unfair characterization.

Good for him! He's always been the most talented of the 3 brothers, and even though I hated JoBro music, I surprisingly LOVED Nick's solo album a few years back. It was blues/rock..I am looking forward to this new movie. I am hoping people give him a chance and not pre-judge it as a new movie from a former Disney star. I think Nicks is very talented, humble, and has really grown into a very sexy young man.

I'm really excited to see this movie.
It will be great to see Nick act as a character who is so different from him. I think he'll do well.
And he truly is the most talented Jonas Brother. I'm so proud and happy that he is broadening his career.
