Grant and Zhang are lost for words

Interesting. Hugh Grant and Ziyi Zhang will be starring together in a romantic comedy called Lost for Words. Grant plays a British film star who gets cast in a film by a female Chinese director (Zhang). Things get complicated when Grant initially falls for their flirtatious translator (still uncast), who eventually plays around with the translation to foil a potential romance between Grant and Zhang.

I like the concept, and it would be amusing to see Zhang in a romantic comedy. And Hugh Grant's an amazing comedian. The role of the translator is crucial. I wonder who they'll cast.
