The Accidental Husband (2007)

Colin Firth, "Grey's Anatomy" star Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sam Shepard have joined the cast of "The Accidental Husband," a romantic comedy starring Uma Thurman.

Isabella Rossellini, Lindsay Sloane ("The Stones") and Justina Machado ("Six Feet Under") also have been cast in the film to be directed by Griffin Dunne ("Practical Magic").

The film revolves around Emma Lloyd (Thurman), a local talk radio host with a show about relationships.

Firth will play her husband, and Shepard her father. When one of her listeners, Sofia (Machado) follows her advice and breaks up with her boyfriend (Morgan), a New York fireman, the boyfriend plans his revenge and sets Emma's life into crisis.

Morgan is best known for his role as Denny Duquette on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy." Firth recently wrapped production on two indie films, "Then She Found Me," directed by Helen Hunt, and "When Did You Last See Your Father" opposite Jim Broadbent and directed by Anand Tucker. Shepard will next appear in "The Assassination of Jesse James" opposite Brad Pitt.

Yari Film Group will produce with Team Todd's Jennifer and Suzanne Todd, Blum House's Jason Blum and Thurman.

Filming on the indie production begins today (13 November) in New York.
