Two-time Best Picture nominee Finola Dwyer (Brooklyn) is producing alongside Fifth Season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tElizabeth Chomko (What They Had) will write and direct the project, which is Hudson\u2019s first movie since her Oscar nomination earlier this year for her role opposite Hugh Jackman in Craig Brewer\u2019s\u00a0Song Sung Blue. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDescribed as being \u201cin the vein of\u00a0Sleepless in Seattle,\u00a0When Harry Met Sally, and\u00a0You\u2019ve Got Mail\u201c, the film\u2019s synopsis reads: \u201cAfter a prickly first encounter in Paris, a fiercely independent landscape architect and a crisis-ridden bestselling novelist begin a sparky, transatlantic exchange over books and recipes\u2014only to discover that the one thing harder than being alone might be choosing not to be\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNot clear at this stage whether there\u2019s a theatrical component to the deal. Patrick Wachsberger\u2019s Legendary-backed sales firm 193 was aboard for international sales but Amazon has taken the project off the table. We understand the pact is landing in the $30M+ range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tChomko is best known for Sundance drama\u00a0What They Had, starring Hilary Swank and Michael Shannon. Four-time Oscar nominee Bardem is best known for dramatic roles but his hit romantic comedy-dramas include\u00a0Vicky Cristina Barcelona\u00a0and\u00a0Eat Pray Love. Hudson has had plenty of success in the rom-com genre including on films such as How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Bride Wars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Amazon MGM Studios is in advanced negotiations to land worldwide distribution rights to\u00a0Hello &amp; Paris, the rom-com&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[6896,6897,6898,6899,30],"class_list":["post-8608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-paris","tag-amazon-mgm-studios","tag-hello-paris","tag-javier-bardem","tag-kate-hudson","tag-paris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
