Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant will not joining the cast of Lost for Words, the Working Title produced romantic comedy for Universal Pictures. The spokesman has cited creative differences.

Grant had agreed last summer to play a British actor approached to star in a film by a Chinese director. After a flirtation with her translator, the actor falls for the director.

Ziyi Zhang is playing the director. Susanne Bier will be directing the film, and Working title partners Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are producing the film with a script written by Jamie Curtis and Dan Mazer.

Grant has been associated with Working title in several movies like Notting Hill, Love Actually and the cult classic Four Weddings and a Funeral. But this one just didn’t work out for him I guess.

“This was a case of creative differences,” a spokeswoman for Grant said. “They were not able to get a script everyone agreed on but it’s our understanding that Working Title is moving ahead with the project and Hugh wishes them well.”
