Heidi Gardner set to take on new role in Cameron Diaz, Stephen Merchant's rom-com
The cast of Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming untitled rom-com continues to grow, with Frankie Faison, and Saturday Night Live alums Alex Moffat, and Heidi Gardner joining stars Cameron Diaz and Stephen Merchant, who is also directing from a script he co-wrote with John Butler, as per Deadline.
Currently in production, the film centers on a workaholic Brit (Merchant) at a luxury New York hotel who needs a wife to maintain appearances.
He enters a mutually beneficial deal with a struggling stand-up comic (Diaz) who is in need of health insurance; what begins as a practical deal soon spirals into an unexpectedly hilarious romance.
The new cast members join a star-studded ensemble which includes Rob Lowe, Jake Lacy, Josh Segarra, Sherry Cola, Judith Light, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Fabrizio Guido, Lisa Gilroy and Dustin Ybarra.
Lee Eisenberg, Merchant, and Point Grey Pictures’ Seth Rogen (The Studio), Evan Goldberg, James Weaver and Josh Fagen are producing the upcoming project.
