Story by Jack Foley

UMA Thurman is to star in a new romantic comedy called Ceremony.

The actress will line up alongside Michael Angarano in the story of a young man who falls for an older woman (played by Thurman) as she is preparing to get married.

The comedy is written and directed by Max Winkler, who most recently teamed up with Jonah Hill to co-pen The Adventurer’s Handbook. Filming is due to begin next month, according to Variety.

Thurman has just completed work on Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, in which she appears as Medusa.
