Colin Firth and Emily Blunt to star in identity-switching comedy

I don't know if there are two actors who combine their obvious dramatic chops with fun, light-hearted projects better than Colin Firth and Emily Blunt. Whether it's a sweeping historical piece(The King's Speech, The Young Victoria) or more mainstream fare(Mama Mia!, The Adjustment Bureau), they excel at both equally. Now we get to see them work together in a dark comedy from commercial director, Dante Ariola.



THR has the story, stating tha the as yet untitled film will circle around a "man who fakes his own death in an attempt to reinvent himself and meets a woman who is also in the process of trying to escape her old life. They both break into empty houses to seal the identities of the absent owners."

This will mark the feature directorial debut for Ariola, an award winner for his TV commercials for Nike, Lexus, Coca-Cola. Production is set to begin this fall.
