Something Similar

Kate Hudson is in negotiations to join the romantic comedy "Something Borrowed" says Variety.

Based on Emily Giffin's 2005 debut novel of the same name, the story centers on a single Manhattan attorney (Ginnifer Goodwin). This good-girl gets drunk on her 30th birthday and ends up sleeping with Dexter (the just cast Colin Egglesfield), the fiancé of her selfish best friend Darcy (Hudson).

As the mistake blossoms into a full-blown affair, she must decide between her life-long friend and the man of her dreams.

Most likely Hudson signed for the potential sequel should the film do well. "Something Blue", the second book in the series switches the focus to the Darcy character and how she tries to get her life back into balance after the betrayal.

John Krasinski has signed to play the girl's grade-school confidant Ethan, a supporting character in 'Borrowed' who becomes the male lead in 'Blue'.

Luke Greenfield ("The Girl Next Door") is directing from a script by Jennie Urman.

Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Hilary Swank, Molly Smith, Aaron Lubin and Pamela Schein Murphy will be producing the pic.

Yet another rom-com for Kate?? While she does well in them for the most part--Is it really necessary to do another one at this point? I suppose after doing the thriller The Killer Inside Me and the musical pic Nine

Shooting kicks off next month.
