Rom-com Queen Meg Ryan is getting back to her roots!
“HERE WE GO!!” Ryan penned in an Instagram post on May 3 along with a photo of a poster for her upcoming romantic comedy movie, aptly titled “What Happens Later.” Per Variety, Ryan is not only set to star in the new film opposite “The X-Files” star David Duchovny — she’s serving as the director of the motion picture as well! It’s reported that Ryan, playing the role of “Willa,” is reunited with her ex-lover “Bill,” played by Duchovny, after a snowstorm leaves them high and dry in an airport with all the time in the world to hash out their past. We shudder to think.
“It is exciting to have Meg Ryan bring the weight of her experience in the genre to the director’s chair and to matchmake her with such a wonderful sparring partner in David Duchovny,” HanWay Films managing director Gabrielle Stewart gushed. “This is exactly what audiences everywhere are looking for and HanWay is thrilled to be partnering once again with our friends at Bleecker Street.” Break a leg, Meg!
