With shooting believed to be starting relatively soon, Jay Baruchel has signed up to star in Cameron’s Crowe’s upcoming romantic comedy, which currently doesn’t have a title, according to THR. It’s a bit of a reunion for Baruchel and Crowe, as the Canadian actor got one of his very first roles in Almost Famous.
The new movie is about a defense contractor (Bradley Cooper) who is overseeing the launch of a weapons satellite in Hawaii. He ends up falling for an Air Force pilot (Emma Stone), and together they secretly plan to sabotage the launch. Giving things a slightly sci-fi flavour, the movie also features mysterious island forces and a talking computer. Baruchel is playing the contractor’s step brother. Rachel McAdams, Danny McBride and Alec Baldwin are also set to star.
Cameron Crowe is directing from his own original screenplay.
