The first trailer and poster for the romantic comedy "The Rewrite" have been released. Written and directed by Marc Lawrence, the film stars Hugh Grant as an award-winning writer who accepts a job in a quiet little town, teaching a course in screenwriting to help him out of a bad patch. Here he falls in love with a single mother working two jobs (Marisa Tomei). Allison Janney, J.K. Simmons and Chris Elliott also star. Writer/director Lawrence has a lot of experience in the romcom field, though his work ranges from good ("Miss Congeniality", "Music and Lyrics") to quite bad ("Did You Hear About the Morgans?", "Miss Congeniality 2").

"The Rewrite" opens in theaters in the UK on October 8th.

Check out the trailer and poster after the jump.

Official Synopsis

"Once upon a time, screenwriter Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) was on top of the world – a Golden Globe Award and a hit movie to his name, a beautiful wife and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wit and charm. But that was fifteen years ago: now, he’s divorced, broke, approaching fifty and hasn’t written a hit film in years. Luckily, his agent has a job for him – a university in the quiet town of Binghamton is looking for someone to teach a course in screenwriting, and with an empty wallet as his motivation, Keith can’t say no. Hoping to give minimal attention to his duties and focus on writing a new script, his attitude slowly begins to turn when he meets Holly (Marisa Tomei). A single mum working two jobs to earn her degree, the pair find themselves connected by their mutual need for a second chance."
