When you hear that Kevin Costner and Jake Gyllenhaal are teaming up for a movie, you’d be forgiven for assuming it could be an addition to some of the best western movies or a tense political thriller. Costner's most recent work involved him playing cowboys in Yellowstone (available with a Peacock subscription) and his sprawling epic Horizon: An American Saga, while Gyllenhaal has built a career with some of his best movies being prestige dramas and intense genre pieces ranging from Nightcrawler to Prisoners. That’s why their latest project together is such a curveball.
Costner and Gyllenhaal have officially signed on to star in Honeymoon With Harry, an upcoming book-to-screen adaptation of a Bart Baker novel produced by Amazon MGM Studios, according to Deadline. The studio announced the film on Monday, with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy, Stupid, Love; Focus) directing from a script penned by Dan Fogelman, the writer-producer best known for This Is Us and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
