Before I go too far, where did Helen Hunt actually go after 2000’s What Women Want? The actress found comedic fame with her NBC television series “Mad About You” and then found an Academy Award, Golden Globe and an Actor on her shelf for her performance in As Good as it Gets. After the moderate hit Castaway with Tom Hanks and What Women Want with Mel Gibson she did a couple of small roles here and there, but nothing really stood out, but she is back in the news now as Lions Gate has acquired domestic distribution rights to her latest.
A Good Woman, starring Scarlett Johansson and Helen Hunt, bowed at the Toronto Film Festival and caught the eye of Lions Gate Films.
The Mike Barker directed flick is a romantic comedy adapted from the play “Lady Windermere’s Fan” and concerns a seductress who lures away a younger woman’s husband.
When the film will find its way to theaters is not yet known.
