Rupert Penry-Jones, Trudie Styler, Amber Valletta, Bella Maclean, Eliot Sumner and Thaddea Graham have joined the cast of the forthcoming romantic comedy feature from writer-director Elizabeth Chomko, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson were previously announced to star in Hello & Paris, which is loosely inspired by author Deborah McKinlay’s 2014 novel, That Part Was True.
Hello & Paris is currently in production and described as being in the same vein as titles like Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. The film centers on a landscape architect and a best-selling but embattled novelist who have a prickly first meeting in Paris before gradually getting to know each other as they exchange books and recipes while residing on opposite sides of the Atlantic.
