Jason Sudeikis, Rose Byrne to star in “Tumbledown” indie romcom

Jason Sudeikis and Rose Byrne will star in the independent romantic comedy "Tumbledown", TheWrap said.

Olivia Munn, Joe Manganiello, Blythe Danner, Michael McKean and Beau Bridges will co-star in the movie, which Sean Mewshaw will direct from an original screenplay by Desi Van Til. Both Mewshaw and Van Til are making their feature debuts, having previously collaborated on the short film "Last Night," which starred Frances McDormand and premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

"Tumbledown" stars Byrne as a young widow who falls for a brash New York writer (Sudeikis) who barrels into her rural Maine town to investigate the death of her husband, a folk-music hero.

Production is scheduled to start in October in Vancouver.

"Saturday Night Live" star Sudeikis, who previously starred in "Horrible Bosses" and "Hall Pass," will next be seen opposite Jennifer Aniston in "We're the Millers."

"Damages" veteran Byrne has been burning up the bigscreen ever since "Bridesmaids." She'll soon be seen in Fox's summer comedy "The Internship" and the romantic comedy "I Give It a Year," and is set to star in studio movies "Townies" and "This Is Where I Leave You."
