Christoph Waltz To Direct German Romantic Comedy

Christoph Waltz To Direct German Romantic Comedy

The story is about “a woman who is the ruthless host of a dating show competition. She finds herself in over her head when the show’s romantic story line bumps into her own feelings for a contestant.”

Waltz may play a role, but that is not yet set.

The film may not get a release outside Germany, though it isn’t difficult to imagine that if it does quite well there, a wider international release wouldn’t be out of the question. Waltz probably won’t even make the film for some time, as he’s got films like Water for Elephants and the Kevin Costner picture A Little War of Our Own to appear in first. One would also guess he’s locked in to do extensive promotion for The Green Hornet later this year.
