Need a Little Mr. Romance In Your Life?

Ever wonder if Hollywood would ever make a movie about those male models (a.k.a. Nathan Kamp or Fabio) who are on all the covers of our favorite romances?

Your wish has come true...


New Regency has acquired “Mr. Romance,” a pitch for a comedy that will be helmed by “Four Christmases” director Seth Gordon.

Jeff Roda ("The Siege of Fulton Avenue") will pen the script.

Regency has acquired rights to a Joshuah Bearman article commissioned by GQ magazine. Tower of Babble’s
Beau Bauman will produce with Gordon.

The pic will be a comedy about a cynical guy who is forced to enter the Mr. Romance competition to win back the love of his life. The competition, which finds hunks whose photos grace the bodice-ripping covers of romance novels, is a real event.

“Romance novels sell 50% of all books, and there is a convention where guys submit themselves to physical and psychological tests to determine their romantic IQ,” Gordon told Daily Variety.

This sounds like a cute comedy! Even though the statement about "bodice-ripping covers" annoys me.

Who can you see playing the cynical guy? I can see Gerard Butler in the role. *G*
