Hugh Grant is set to star in an upcoming romatic comedy from writer/director Marc Lawrence. Check out the official press release below:
Producer Martin Shafer announced today that Hugh Grant will star in writer/director Marc Lawrence’s new untitled romantic comedy, shooting in New York in April 2013. Shafer will produce with Liz Glotzer for Castle Rock Entertainment. No distribution deals have been set. This marks the fourth collaboration between Grant, Lawrence and Castle Rock Entertainment (TWO WEEK’S NOTICE, MUSIC & LYRICS, and DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS) and the sixth collaboration between Lawrence and Castle Rock (the previously mentioned films, as well as MISS CONGENIALITY 1 & 2).
In 1998, Ray Michaels (Grant) was on top of the world — a witty, sexy, Englishman in Hollywood who had just won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. Fifteen years later, he’s creatively washed up, divorced, and broke. With no other options, he takes a job teaching screenwriting at a small college on the East Coast. Although the idea of teaching is less than thrilling, he hopes to make some easy money and enjoy the favors of impressionable young co-eds. What he doesn’t expect to find is romance with a single mom who’s gone back to school.
An award-winning actor, Hugh Grant has starred in more than fifty films over twenty years. Over the years, his film work has included, ABOUT A BOY, NOTTING HILL and FOUR WEDDINGS & A FUNERAL He can currently be seen in CLOUD ATLAS.
