Page created. Production has literally just started (April 16th) on the third adaptation of one of Nick Hornby's books (following Fever Pitch and High Fidelity). Hugh Grant stars alongside Muriels Wedding's Toni Collette and The Mummy's Rachel Wiesz. The project was to be released by New Line but is now to be distributed by Universal. The screenplay is written by Peter Hedges, he wrote What's Eating Gilbert Grape a few years back and directorial duties belong to Chris and Paul Weitz (Paul directed the hugely successful American Pie). Just days after the shoot began, Popcorn bagged a few pics (see them above or follow this link to their site).
