Another romcom with the romance exclusive Hugh Grant. As he thinks this is the only genre he can excel at, it will be a long time before we see him doing something else. He has signed for the movie ‘Lost For Words’ with ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ star Zhang Ziyi. It’s produced by the same company that gave him the breakthrough role in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral,’ Working Title.
It’s a lost in translation story with a comical note. When Grant gets romantic with two women, one is the translator. And she works this to her advantage.
Interesting to note is that the script is co-written by ‘Borat’ and ‘Ali G Indahouse’ scriptwriter Dan Mazer. Hugh Grant has stated in several articles how he adores the humor of Sacha Baron Cohen’s movies. Susanne Bier, who previously made ‘Things We Lost in the Fire,’ will direct the romance.
