《伴娘》女星蘿絲·拜恩和《驚聲尖笑》女星安娜·法瑞絲將加盟浪漫喜劇《I Give It a Year》,與西蒙·貝克、拉菲·斯波演對手戲。
本片由《波拉特》《布魯諾》的編劇/制片人Dan Mazer自編自導(dǎo),故事講述了一對不和諧的夫婦在結(jié)婚第一年掙扎著挽救他們的婚姻。拉菲·斯波與蘿絲·拜恩將出演這對夫婦。鑒于導(dǎo)演一貫的創(chuàng)作路數(shù),這部影片很可能會是R級。
蘿絲·拜恩在去年的表現(xiàn)十分搶眼,除了大熱的《伴娘》,她還出演了口碑票房雙贏的恐怖片《潛伏》,以及超級英雄片《X戰(zhàn)警:第一戰(zhàn)》。接下來她還將出現(xiàn)在與布萊德利·庫珀、瑞恩·高斯林聯(lián)袂主演的《松林那邊的地方》。
