Some casting news for today centers on the a tale of two Josh’s. According to Variety, Josh Lucas has signed on to co-star in the film, Life As We Know It.The actor will join Katherine Heigl, Transformers star Josh Duhamel, and Mad Men alum Christina Hendricks.
Surprise, surprise, Katherine Heigl will star in yet another romantic comedy — but wait, what’s this? Apparently Gerard Butler isn’t the only man she’s pulled from big-bang explosion films, she’s now recruiting Josh Duhamel to her rom-com lair. Collider reports that Duhamel is in the talks of joining Heigl in the Warner Brothers upcoming romantic comedy Life As We Know It.
The film centers around the two single, career-oriented adults (Duhamel and Heigl), who have their lives turned upside down when their mutual best friends die in an accident and name then as caregivers of their young daughter. Sounds more like romantic tragedy than a romantic comedy, but leave it to Heigl to turn a frown upside down; Heigl will serve as producer to the rom-com alongside Greg Berlanti, who also wrote the script.
Katherine Heigl is obviously going to ride this romance-movie train until the wheels fall off. The actress who became the go-to-gal for romantic comedies after her 2007 role in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up is signing on for yet another love story. According to Variety, the actress will star in Life as We Know it, a Warner Bros production under the direction Greg Berlanti.
