ADAM DEVINE and Liam Hemsworth will star opposite Rebel Wilson in “Isn’t It Romantic,” a New Line romantic comedy that Todd Strauss-Schulson is directing. The story tells of a cynical woman (Wilson) who discovers that her life has become a romantic comedy, and she goes from sidekick to center stage. The two actors are two points in a love triangle with Wilson, with Devine playing a character who is stuck in the friend zone and Hemsworth the hunky object of Wilson’s affections. Erin Cardillo wrote the initial script; Dana Fox, Katie Silberman and Paula Pell worked on it as well, with the most recent revisions by Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly. Todd Garner, Grant Scharbo, Gina Matthews and Jeremy Stein are producing the comedy, which is targeting a June start date. For Devine, “Isn’t It Romantic” reteams him with Wilson; the two co-starred in the hit “Pitch Perfect” movies. The actor also starred in “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” and is coming off hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards. He is currently shooting “Game Over, Man,” a comedy for Netflix with his “Mail Order Comedy” partners Anders Holm and Blake Anderson. (SD-Agencies) |
