\n\tEXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Here\u2019s a fun one. Oscar winners Halle Berry<\/a> (Monster\u2019s Ball) and Colin Firth<\/a> (The King\u2019s Speech), Emmy nominee Zo\u00eb Kravitz (The Studio), and British Comedy Award winner Jack Whitehall<\/a> (The \u2018Burbs) have been set to star in rom-com Otherwise Engaged<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tNancy Meyers\u2019 longtime producer and collaborator Suzanne Farwell will direct from a script she wrote with Gabriel Mizrahi. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe synopsis reads: \u201cCharlie (Whitehall) is ready to marry the love of his life, Gabby (Kravitz), until his estranged father (Firth), a fallen business tycoon fresh out of prison, shows up on their doorstep and soon falls for Gabby\u2019s fiercely independent mother (Berry). Now, their parents\u2019 unlikely romance threatens to turn Charlie and Gabby\u2019s dream wedding into their worst nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tProduction is slated to begin in March, 2027, in New York. Mister Smith Entertainment is handling international sales, and launching the movie for pre-sales at the upcoming TIFF Market<\/a>. CAA Media Finance is handling U.S. rights.<\/p>\n

\n\tPic is being produced by Susan Cartsonis (What Women Want) and Suzanne Farwell (It\u2019s Complicated) for Resonate Entertainment, and Laura Rister for Esme Grace Pictures (Mr. Malcolm\u2019s List).<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Suzanne Farwell commented: \u201cI am passionate about making films that make us laugh out loud while taking us on a deep and meaningful emotional journey. Having spent much of my career helping bring sophisticated relationship comedies to the screen, I couldn\u2019t be more excited to bring my love for this genre to Otherwise Engaged. I\u2019m thrilled to be working with such an extraordinary cast and creative team to bring it to life and look forward to introducing the project to the international marketplace at TIFF.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMister Smith Entertainment\u2019s CEO David Garrett added: \u201cWith not one, but two blossoming romances, some razor-sharp wit and an unbeatable cast, Otherwise Engaged is a truly exciting recipe for success. With her decades of experience as Nancy Meyers\u2019 producing partner, we are thrilled to support Suzanne\u2019s vision, and think this is one that will have audiences head over heels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tProducers Susan Cartsonis and Laura Rister stated: \u201cSuzanne is perfectly positioned to become a triple threat as the producer of some of the most popular modern romantic comedies of the past 20 years. We are thrilled to support her on this sophisticated generational rom com for which she\u2019s co-written, and drawn together our dream cast of Colin, Halle, Zo\u00eb and Jack. Suzanne will direct a film we know everyone will want to watch on repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n
