Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant Unite for "Music and Lyrics"

Jan 30, 2006 - Two audience favorites unite for the romantic comedy, "Music and Lyrics." Hugh Grant ("Love Actually") and Drew Barrymore ("Fever Pitch") are set to take starring roles in the rom com from writer/director Marc Lawrence.

Lawrence's story follows the romantic antics of a lyrics writer and music writer (hence the film's title).

Drew Barrymore's Flower Hills production company partner Nancy Juvonen will executive produce the film along with Village Roadshow's Bruce Berman.

Filming is expected to begin in late March with Warner Bros hoping to release the film during the 2006 holiday season.

Drew Barrymore recently wrapped work on "Lucky You," a gambling drama directed by Curtis Hanson and co-starring Eric Bana. Next up for Hugh Grant is the comedy "American Dreamz" with Dennis Quaid and Mandy Moore.
