Golden Globe winner Simon Beaufoy is set to write Spyglass Entertainment's upcoming comedy "Leap Year."

The film stars Amy Adams as a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on leap day, Feb. 29. Tradition says men have to say yes on that day.

But when bad weather threatens to ruin her plan, she embarks on a turbulent trip with an Irish innkeeper to pull off her proposal before it’s too late.

Anand Tucker, who most recently helmed "And When Did You Last See Your Father?," is on board to direct. "Made of Honor" screenwriters Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan wrote an early draft.

Beaufoy recently won a Golden Globe and got nominated for an Oscar for his acclaimed screenplay for "Slumdog Millionaire."

The scribe's other writing credits include "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" and "The Full Monty," for which he also received an Oscar nomination in 1998.
