Hugh Grant has been tapped to play a British tabloid reporter in the upcoming Toff Guys, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Production for Toff Guys is set to begin sometime this fall.
His last film, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, was a costly misfire that grossed just $148 million worldwide on a $175 million budget.
Still, the director’s Sherlock Holmes films were sizable hits, while his early work, namely Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels remain minor classics.
