According to Collider.com, Michael has recently signed on to star in the Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Elizabethtown) directed romantic affair drama "If I Had You" starring himself, Keira Knightley, Sam Worthington, and newcomer Rosie Huntington. The film is romantic drama expert Crowe's first story to take place in England. Keira and Sam play Joanna and Michael Fisher, an English husband and wife who begin to drift apart after Keira suspects her husband is having an affair with his co-worker Lara Dunn (Huntington). When Michael and Lara attend a business trip alone together, Joanna runs into her former drug addict but now successful restaurant owner and chef ex-boyfriend Nathan Hawthorne (Meyers) and the two begin to get close again. Looks like Michael will need to hold on to that British accent he is using for Bond. It's been a while since the last GOOD Cameron Crowe romantic flick. They always strike the right balance between romance and humor and drama and ALWAYS have tremendous soundtracks. While I am not exactly sold yet on Worthington and Huntington as quality actors, I am beyond stoked to see Meyers and Knightley on screen together again (especially as distant lovers who get back together) for the first time in 9 years since appearing in Bend It Like Beckham together. Count Me In. Filming is set to begin next Spring for a Fall 2011 release.P.S. According to reports, Michael is laying low on the Bond set after the Famke Janssen drama in early October and is actually already preparing for his much buzzed about role as a female in Neil Blomkamp's The Boy Who Got Away by studying the Swedish language (apparently the film will be in Swedish with subtitles). This PHOTO was taken today of Meyers in Paris in a cafe reading a Rosetta Stone guide to learning Swedish. The film starts filming in February in Sweden and is set for release in December 2011. It also stars Daniel Day Lewis.
