Gerard Butler Rom-Coms With Katherine Heigl

While I’m normally hesitant to endorse a remake of anything, I now find myself wishing the Escape from New York remake that was rumored a few months ago had actually happened. If it had, maybe Gerard Butler would be busy playing the new Snake Plissken, a role for which he’d be awesome, saving him from being stuck in the project I’m about to tell you about.

Instead of strapping on an eyepatch and kicking ass the way god intended for all men with abs like that, King Leonidas will make a rom-com with Hollywood’s new discount Reese Witherspoon, Katherine Heigl. The movie is The Ugly Truth, a “battle of the sexes comedy” being shot in April and distributed by Sony upon completion.

In it, Heigl plays a romantically challenged morning show producer (aw) who agrees to let her chauvinist correspondent Mike Alexander (Butler) make her the subject of his TV segment “The Ugly Truth”. In it, he puts her through a series of tests designed to prove his relationship theories, and of course in the process she like totally falls for him and the music swells. I feel certain it’ll be the next Sleepless in Seattle.

Josh, Josh! Your sarcasm is only exceeded by your glaring fanboy preconceptions of anything remotely to do with movies that might 'smack' of a more urbane element. If you really think that starring in a film like the 'Ugly Truth' is going to tarnish GB's reputation as a v. bankable leading man, then I'd strongly suggest you 'chat' with a few (thousand!) of his avid female fans who will go (with few exceptions) to ALL his films at every opportunity. They're out there, and they ain't goin' away... ;o)

Surprising pair, but only on the surface.
Both are great actors, knowing how to put depth into otherwise shallow characters.
Clever PR, choices, as well, because Gerry is so uber-male onscreen, and Katy is so beautiful & smart.
Of course, neither popular actor can do anything without an excellent script and direction.

Of course she falls in love with him. Have you ever seen a movie where they don't?
