Having directed stories about vampires (TWILIGHT), werewolves (RED RIDING HOOD) and worst of all overactive teenagers (THIRTEEN), Catherine Hardwicke is ready to helm a story about grown up relationships with MISS YOU ALREADY.
With the intriguing combination of Rachel Weisz and Toni Collette in the lead roles, the film sounds like a variation on BEACHES ramped up to eleven, as two best friends’ lives are disrupted by a pregnancy on one side and sickness on the other.
The script is courtesy of Morwenna Banks, a comedienne who rose to prominence on cult sketch show Absolutely in the 90s, before joining the cast of Saturday Night Live. On her return to the UK she has been most notable for her work with Reeves & Mortimer and I for one am looking forward to seeing how her writing will fuse with Collette, one of the most diverse character actresses around.
The comedy drama begins shooting in London in September.
