Kate Hudson is in final talks to join John Krasinski, Ginnifer Goodwin and the recently announced Colin Egglesfield in the upcoming rom-com “Something Borrowed.”
The film is about “a Manhattan attorney (Goodwin) who becomes involved with her best friend’s fiance following her 30th birthday.” Hudson is slated to play the best friend, Darcy. The film will be directed by Luke Greenfield who directed the very enjoyable and very underrated “The Girl Next Door” starring Emile Hirsch, Elisha Cuthbert, Timothy Olyphant (No really, hey, if it was good enough that Mogwai and Elliott Smith’s estate approved the music use, it should be good enough for you too). The script was written by Jennie Snyder Urman (“Lipstick Jungle” and “Gilmore Girls” ). Note to producers, no writer from, “The Girl Next Door”? 🙁
Shooting starts next month. This is the role Krasinski took instead of being “Captain America.” Correction, this is the role Krasinski took when he was cut from the short list from that role. Ah, well, he seems more suited to the rom-com world anyhow. And we’re pretty glad he was axed too, because imagine the months of fanboy bitching we’d have to endure? not. worth. it.
