'Did You Hear About the Morgans?' trailer hits

Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker in Did You Hear About the Morgans?

It's been a while since we last saw Hugh Grant on the big screen, but he'll soon return in Mark Lawrence's comedy "Did You Hear About the Morgans?," which is scheduled to hit theaters Dec. 11, 2009. Grant also worked with the director on "Music and Lyrics" and "Two Weeks Notice."

A trailer for the "Morgans" has popped up online, and you can check it out after the jump. My first reaction is rather negative, because to be honest, this doesn't look funny to me at all. Okay, I admit I laughed once (pay attention to the Sarah Palin joke in the preview). But see for yourself and share you opinion below.

"Morgans" focuses on a troubled New York couple forced to enter a witness protection program in Wyoming after they witness a murder. It's in the middle of nowhere that they finally seem to understand who they really are and stuff. Oh, and Hugh Grant gets to run from a bear as well. By the way, his wife is portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Hugh Grant's next comedy has a title!

Last October I reported about an upcoming untitled comedy starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, and now the project has an official title.

According to Empire Online, the film will be called "Did You Hear About The Morgans?"

Directed by Marc Lawrence, the plot focuses on a troubled New York couple forced to enter a witness protection program in Wyoming after they witness a murder.

In related news, Elisabeth Moss ("Mad Men") has joined the cast. She will be playing Parker's executive assistant.

For Grant, this project already marks his third collaboration with Lawrence, following “Two Weeks Notice” and “Music and Lyrics.” Grant was last seen in "Lyrics."

Parker recently starred in "Sex and the City." Besides a sequel, she's also got "The Ivy Chronicles" in development.

Hugh Grant is ‘Lost for Words’ no more

Actor Hugh Grant has officially left Susanne Bier’s upcoming romantic comedy “Lost for Words,” according to Variety.

Grant was supposed to play a British actor offered a role in a movie directed by a Chinese filmmaker (Ziyi Zhang). Although he’s first attracted to the director’s flirtatious translator, he soon realizes he has stronger feelings for the helmer instead.

The trade says Grant left the project because of creative differences. One of Grant’s spokespeople told Variety the actor was not entirely satisfied with Jamie Curtis and Dan Mazer’s script.

Working title is now moving ahead without Grant. Too bad!

Grant was last seen in 2007’s “Music and Lyrics.” Some of his hit comedies include “Love Actually,” “Notting Hill” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral.”

Danish filmmaker Bier made her Hollywood debut with last year’s “Things We Lost in the Fire.”
