A new romantic comedy, described as a two-hander, is reportedly in the works, with Emma Stone eyeing it as her next film project. Following a recent draft completion on another film, Stone shifted her focus to this highly anticipated project. The role of the male lead attracted significant attention, but Chris Pine ultimately secured the coveted part after extensive meetings with executives and producers.
Pine, known for his role in the Star Trek franchise, is coming off the heels of strong reviews for his recent film Carousel, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. The upcoming romantic comedy is being produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Levine through 21 Laps, with Michael H. Weber also producing. Stone, McCary, and Ali Herting are in talks to produce under their Fruit Tree banner. Universal Pictures is set to distribute the film, having recently signed Fruit Tree to a first-look deal, indicating a strong partnership. Erik Baiers and Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for Universal.
