The romantic comedy starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, which starts filming in London Monday, co-stars Jonathan Pryce and Rupert Everett.

Stephen Dyer and Jonah Lisa Dyer wrote the screenplay about a Victorian doctor who created the world's first electro-mechanical vibrator in the name of medical science.

Elle Driver is the international sales agent for the film and Tom Ortenberg's One Way Out Media is repping North American rights.
