Meg Ryan to star in romantic comedy for the first time in 20 years

________________________________

It was recently revealed that Meg Ryan, 60, will star in What Happens Later alongside David Duchovny, 61. For the actress, this picture will be the first romantic comedy in the last 20 years. The blond beauty has not appeared in a comedic role since 2001, when the film “Kate and Leo” was released, in which she played along with Hugh Jackman. In addition, the actress, in principle, has not appeared on the big screens since 2018, so it seems that the new picture can be considered her official comeback.

Ryan will be able to work behind the scenes – she also acts as a director and screenwriter of this film. The film will be based on the play “Shooting Star” by playwright Steven Dietz, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Meg and novelist Kirk Lynn. The creators promise a completely new “evolutionary and nostalgic” take on the traditional romantic comedy. The story follows ex-lovers who meet for the first time in years at a night airport. The film will begin production later this year in Bentonville, Arkansas, with a slated release in 2023.

Note that the last time behind the scenes, Meg worked on the film Ithaca in 2015. In recent years, Meg has appeared in some dramatic projects, such as the 2018 television series Imagine Paris, about a suburban mother who travels to France with her husband after the children grow up and leave their home.

Recall that in recent years, Meg has focused on raising two children. Now her son Jack Quaid, an actor in the TV series The Boys, is 30 years old, and her adopted daughter Daisy Ryan is 18 years old. They are already adults and now Meg can finally return to her Hollywood career and shine again in a gentle and funny role. Meg was married to actor Dennis Quaid from 1991 to 2000. The breakup was due to Meg’s affair with her Evidence of Life co-star Russell Crowe, which caused a major scandal that almost ruined the actress’s career. The couple broke up after a couple of years. Since 2010, Ryan has been dating music producer John Mellencamp.
