DirectorGarry Marshall(Pretty Woman) is expected to return for the film along with writerKatherine Fugate. There's no word on what role she might play yet, though it'd be nice if she could finally move out of a high school role so she can act her age.

So far Michele is the only acting talent mentioned as joining the cast of this new romantic comedy that will obviously follow several different characters on New Year's Eve. However, sinceValentine's Daygarnered a whole plethora of talent including Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway and Patrick Dempsey, I can't imagine this new project will be without a slew of big name actors. Production will likely be starting sometime soon since New Line has set release forDecember 9th, 2011, so stay tuned as more information on the likely star-studded cast becomes available.
