It’s been a busy past couple weeks for ‘Man of Steel’ star Henry Cavill. We told you recently that he’s set to join the impressive cast of Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy thriller, Argylle, as well as Lionsgate’s Highlander reboot.
And now this week it’s being reported that the 38-year-old actor will take a break from the action world to star in the upcoming romance film, The Rosie Project.
Steve Falk will write and direct the film, which follows an unlucky-in-love university professor who creates an elaborate questionnaire in an effort to find a wife and meets an unconventional woman who doesn’t match any of his ‘requirements,’ but might be the perfect woman for him.
According to my Google research, it looks like a version of this film was scheduled to enter production five years ago, with Ryan Reynolds set to star. For whatever reason, that version never happened, and now here we are with a different star and different director.
In any event, the premise sounds cute enough, and it’ll be nice to see Cavill escape from the action genre.
No word on when filming is set to begin, but they’ll likely have to work around Cavill’s busy schedule.
