Game For Love

Unpack your barley water, get ready the sweatbands and ensure your whites are sparklingly clean, for the long awaited Brit romantic comedy, Wimbledon, has finally got its players: lucky fellow Paul Bettany and Spider-Man squeeze, Kirsten Dunst. Long touted as a starring vehicle for Hugh Grant, the tennis-obsessed picture will see Working Title's Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, David Livingstone and Mary Richards creating yet another typically British comedy to live up to their track record, which includes Bridget Jones's Diary, Notting Hill and last year's About A Boy. Set against the backdrop of the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships, the romantic comedy will start shooting in June with TV director Richard Loncraine in the umpire's seat. But there's no word yet as to whether rain breaks or a crooning Cliff Richard have made the final script.
