Not too long ago The Rosie Project looked like it was going to bring together the interesting duo of Jennifer Lawrence and Richard Linklater. However when she decided to make Darren Aronofsky’s next film, they both left the film behind.
However, Sony is still very keen on the film and it appears they may have found a new lead, as Variety reports that Ryan Reynolds is currently circling The Rosie Project. It doesn’t look like there’s a new director as yet though.
The film is based on the Graeme Simsion novel, which is about a socially awkward genetics professor [which is presumably Reynolds’ role], who devises a science-based survey to find the perfect mate – only to see those theories splintered when he meets the spontaneous Rosie Jarman, who possesses the opposite qualities. However, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Rosie’s quest to find her biological father.
It’s not clear when it might shoot.
