Hugh Grant desperately wants to take time out from acting to write his unfinished novel. The 46-year-old longs to develop his talent in another creative area, but fears he doesn’t have the discipline for writing.

He explains, “I cling pathetically to the notion that I’ll move from being an interpretive kind of artist to being one who actually writes the thing. I’ve been really trying to write my book.”

The star insists girlfriend Jemima Khan is a great source of motivation, adding, “(She) has forced me virtually at gunpoint to sit down and actually do it as opposed to talk about it or make notes.”

Plot Outline: A romantic comedy following Alex Fletcher, a washed-up ’80s pop star who’s been reduced to working the nostalgia circuit at county fairs and amusement parks. The charismatic and talented musician gets a chance at a comeback when reigning diva Cora Corman invites him to write and record a duet with her, but there’s a problem–Alex hasn’t written a song in years, he’s never written lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days. Enter Sophie Fisher, Alex’s beguilingly quirky plant lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On the rebound from a bad relationship, Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their chemistry heats up at the piano and under it, Alex and Sophie will have to face their fears–and the music–if they want to find the love and success they both deserve.

Looks good to me!!
