Hugh Grant has quit Working Title's new romantic comedy “Lost For Words.”
Grant left the project, which he agreed to star in last summer, over “creative differences.”
A spokeswoman for Grant said: “This was a case of creative differences. 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.”
Hugh Grant would have portrayed a British actor who stars in a movie for a Chinese director (Ziyi Zhang). After romancing a translator, he eventually falls for the director.
Susanne Bier is directing the film from a script by Jamie Curtis and Dan Mazer.
While some of Grant's best films, from “Love Actually” to “Notting Hill” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” have come with Working Title, this one didn't work out and the actor officially withdrew late last week.Hugh Grant Exits “Lost For Words”
