By Romeo San Vicente
Perry and Swank Line Up for Craig Lucas
Gay playwright (Reckless,
Prelude to a Kiss) and screenwriter (Longtime Companion)
Craig Lucas had his filmmaking debut with the twisted Hollywood
tale The Dying Gaul, but he's not finished with life behind the
camera.
Hilary Swank is producing and playing a small role in Lucas'
Laws of Motion, which begins shooting this summer.
Matthew
Perry and Justin Long (the young star of those
cutesy "I'm a Mac" ads) pair up in this comedy about three dysfunctional
sibs - an uptight professor, a promiscuous woman, and their flaky kid
brother - discovering that, despite their differences, they need each
other after all. (Swank plays Perry's relatively sane neighbor.)
Look for what promises to be a hilarious family portrait to make its
neurotic way into theaters in 2008.
