John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, and Christopher Walken To Star in The Rom-Com THAT'S AMORE!
John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) and Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy, Firefly Lane) are set to star in the upcoming rom-com film That’s Amore!, and they will be joined by Christopher Walken (Severance). The film will be directed by two-time Academy Award winner Nick Vallelonga (Green Book).
The story follows Nick Venere (Travolta), “who is a modern-day ‘Marty’ – he’s never been married and his best dating years are well behind him. He’s never heard the words ‘I love you’ and figures he never will. Patty Amore (Heigl) has her share of problems, as well. Shy and introverted, she’s filled with various tics and nervous habits. A secret from her past, combined with her over-protective father, have caused her to withdraw from the dating game. But when Nick and Patty meet, literally bumping into one another, they share an immediate connection. When these two emotionally damaged people attempt to date one another, their families get involved, and the results are hilarious.”
Travolta and Heigl playing love interests is interesting…. I guess? It seems like a weird pairing, but ok. Producer Tamara Birkemoe said in a statement: “We could not be more excited to announce That’s Amore! as the first title on PPP’s slate. This film’s unparalleled star power and endearing, romantic charm is a testament to the quality of films that PPP will continue to present to buyers at forthcoming film markets.”
The crew for the movie also includes two-time Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti (The Last of the Mohicans), Academy Award-winning production designer Gianni Quaranta (A Room with a View), three-time Academy Award-nominated editor Steven Rosenblum (Braveheart) and costume designer Betsy Heimann (Green Book).
