Quote:

Meg Ryan and Adam Brody ('The OC') are to star In the Land of Women," a bittersweet comedy that will mark the directorial debut of Jonathan Kasdan, according to Variety.

"It is about a comedy screenwriter from L.A. who, in the wake of a tumultuous breakup, heads to the suburbs of Michigan to take care of his ailing, eccentric grandmother," Kasdan said. There, he becomes involved with a house full of women across the street.

Ryan committed to the film a month ago, expecting to shoot it before joining Kevin Costner this fall in the adaptation of T.C. Boyle novel The Tortilla Curtain.

Kasdan postponed the film to wait for Brody. The 26-year-old was the director's top choice but was unavailable because of his series commitment. They'll wait for his series hiatus, with Brody taking on his first film starring role. Ryan will make The Tortilla Curtain next.

Filming will begin next spring.

This is great. This film will be Adam's first big lead. This film could be a big hit. It'll show his great screen presence. So, they start filming around March or April, once filming has ended for the show. This role was envisioned for Adam. He'll probably get a big paycheck. This film will enhance his stock in Hollywood.

Some more movie info from imdb.com

His world in complete disorder after his break-up with a famous actress, Carter, a young TV writer, goes to suburban Detroit to care for his sickly Grandmother and heal his broken heart. Along the way he forms a special bond with the family that lives across from his Grandma, and changes the live of each woman. In the course of this, as is required in every film--and thus the world, he changes his own life as well.

This a huge career move for Adam. Whatever its box office, I bet that Adam will be getting a huge salary on the O.C. for the third season. He'll be making equal money with Peter. But to the film. It's a kind of romantic film with Meg Ryan. So it's budget should be in the high $ 40 or $ 50 million. So, Adam should be getting I assume over $ 2 million for the lead, since Meg gets over $ 10 million for every film.
