Josh Duhamel has signed up to Life As We Know It, a new romantic drama that already stars Katherine Heigl. The Transformers star has already shot a role in Kristen Bell rom-com When In Rome, so this is another low-key effort to fit between battles with giant alien robots.
Heigl and Duhamel will play virtual strangers who are left to care for an orphaned girl after their mutual friends are killed in a car accident and leave their child to their respective best friends. Cue, we're guessing, serious life adjustments.
The film's set to be directed by Greg Berlanti, until now best known as a TV producer and writer on shows like Everwood and Eli Stone. Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson wrote the script, but there's no start date for this as yet.
