Grant to star in new Rom Com with Zhang

I always love Hugh Grant in romantic comedies. This one sounds like it has an interesting twist, and will be nice to see this great Chinese actress in a lighter film.
Variety: Hugh Grant and Ziyi Zhang will star in "Lost for Words," a comedy that Susanne Bier will direct for Universal Pictures in September.

Working Title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce with Jonathan Cavendish.

Grant is in discussions to play a British film star approached to topline a pic by a Chinese femme filmmaker. He falls for the charms of the helmer's flirtatious translator, but soon sees the object of his true affection is the director (Zhang). Unfortunately, his translator is the only person who can communicate his feelings, and she has her own motives.
