Law's casting wraps Meyers' 'Holiday' plans
Law on 'Holiday'
Dec 13, 2005
Nancy Meyers has finished up her "Holiday" shopping. The helmer has cast Jude Law to round out the toplining quartet for the Columbia Pictures romantic comedy, Meyers' follow-up to Sony's "Something's Gotta Give."
Law is set to join Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet and Jack Black, who already have boarded the project. The film's casting process reportedly has been so lengthy and involved with multiple table reads and screen tests that it has prompted the ire of many agents.
Penned by Meyers, the story follows an American woman (Diaz) with man troubles who befriends a British villager (Winslet) with similar problems. Law will play the love interest of Diaz's character, while Black will play a suitor of Winslet's character.
Meyers also is producing.
"Holiday" begins shooting early next year in Europe and the U.S., with Columbia's Amy Baer shepherding for the studio.
Although Law enjoyed a busy year in 2004, which saw him appear in six films including "Alfie" and "Closer," he was absent from the big screen this year. The two-time Academy Award nominee next appears in Steven Zaillian's "All the King's Men" and Anthony Minghella's "Breaking and Entering."
Law is repped by Endeavor and attorney Karl Austen.
