Hugh Grant is set to return to the big screen in new comedy The Rewrite and the first poster for the film has been released.
It seems as though it has been a whilst since we last saw Hugh Grant on the big screen, but he is back! Â Lionsgate UK have released the first poster for THE REWRITE, which will be released in October.
The British actor is working alongside director Marc Lawrence for the fourth time. Â Grant is always at his best in Rom-Coms and has starred in many including NOTTING HILL, LOVE ACTUALLY and ABOUT A BOY.
This film sees him take on the role of screenwriter Keith Michaels who was once on top of the world – a Golden Globe Award winner and a hit movie to his name, a beautiful wife and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wit and charm.
But that was fifteen years ago: now, he’s divorced, broke, approaching fifty and hasn’t written a hit film in years.
Luckily, his agent has a job for him – a university in the quiet town of Binghamton is looking for someone to teach a course in screenwriting, and with an empty wallet as his motivation, Keith can’t say no.
Hoping to give minimal attention to his duties and focus on writing a new script, his attitude slowly begins to turn when he meets Holly (Marisa Tomei).
A single mum working two jobs to earn her degree, the pair find themselves connected by their mutual need for a second chance.
A great cast has been assembled for the movie, as Grant is joined by Marisa Tomei (THE WRESTLER, CRAZY STUPID LOVE), Allison Janney, and J.K. Simmons.
The Rewrite is released 8th October.
