So Deadline Hollywood is reporting on offers now? C’mon Mike Fleming, you surely have better sources than we do to turn this report into something more substantial. Anyway, Jennifer Connelly has apparently been offered a role in Ron Howard’s forthcoming marital crisis comedy (seems to be a theme running around Hollywood lately) “Cheaters” starring Vince Vaughn, Kevin James and Winona Ryder.
The film, previously known as “Your Cheating Heart,” centers on a man who finds out his best friend’s wife is cheating, only to struggle with what to do with the knowledge. Vince Vaughn is set to play the man struggling the knowledge, while Ryder will play the cheating wife married to Kevin James. The film is based off an idea by Brian Grazer, produced by Vaughn and Imagine Entertainment and has been adapted into a script by Allan Loeb (“Wall Street 2,” “The Baster”). No word yet on what Connelly’s role might be, but the love interest of Vaughn would be a safe guess we think.
Earlier this month, Jennifer Garner was in talks for a role but with Connelly now in the mix, does that mean Garner is out? We’re guessing that’s most likely the case as Garner probably has a conflict with “Butter” set to shoot any minute now and “Cheaters” is also eyeing to go in front of cameras soon. We figure either Jennifer will fit fine into the role, we just hope that the rest of the film is a few notches above the “Paul Blart”/”Couples Retreat” territory Vaughn and James have been treading for the past little while.
