Pop singer Cyndi Lauper, whose movie career got off to a dreadful start last year with “Vibes,” will try her luck in films again: She’ll star in “Paradise Paved,” tentatively set to start production in February for producer Aaron Russo.

Ed Bianchi (“The Fan”) will direct a script by Mitch Glaser on locations in Miami, Baltimore and New York City.

Russo, who calls the picture a “comedy thriller,” said he’s in the midst of casting Lauper’s male co-star--”so I’m really not ready to discuss it yet.”

He did say that Lauper’s role will be “completely different” from the free-spirited psychic she played in “Vibes.”

Lauper is expected back in the United States this week after more than three months abroad for concert tours of Australia and Japan, and promotion work for her “Night to Remember” album in Europe.
