Details of David's latest film project have been announced at the Cannes
Film Festival.
He will be taking on the role of James in a new romantic comedy
set in Scotand. The film will also star Kelly MacDonald and Alice Eve.
Decoy
Bride tells the story of a superstar actress, Lara (Eve), who just wants to marry her cute British boyfriend James (Tennant),
and believes the sleepy Scottish Island of Hegg is the one place the world’s press won’t find them. But when an
ingenious paparazzo tracks them down, the diva must find a decoy bride and thinks local girl Katie (MacDonald) will be an
ideal replacement. But when Katie meets James, sparks fly.
The film is directed
by Sheree Folkson, whose credits include the Ugly Betty and Casanova. Robert Bernstein and Douglas Rae of Ecosse Films and
Paul Ritchie will produce the film. The script was written by Sally Phillips (UK Channel 4’s award winning Smack The
Pony) and Neil Jaworski.
HanWay Films is selling the film in Cannes. “We’re
delighted to have brought such exciting British talent to this wonderful film, based on such a truly funny, smart and insightful
script,” Robert Bernstein said. Steve Christian, Chairman of CinemaNX added, “We are thrilled to be working with
these partners to bring to UK cinema audiences a big, mainstream commercial project such as this.”
