Sarah Jessica Parker, Hugh Grant Couple Up

Romantic comedy veterans Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant will team up and star as an estranged couple in a forthcoming untitled romantic comedy for Columbia Pictures. Marc Lawrence will direct. He also wrote the screenplay.

Parker and Grant will play a high-powered, New York-based couple who've grown apart but are brought closer together after they witness a murder and are subsequently relocated to Wyoming as part of the witness protection program. This project will mark the third time Grant and Lawrence have partnered up for a rom com, with Music and Lyrics and Two Weeks Notice marking the pair's prior collaborations. Columbia is looking at a March start date for the film.
