Add us as a preferred source on Google »P.S. I Love You star Gina Gershon has said that she and the movie's co-writer and director Richard LaGravenese have reteamed to write a new rom-com.
Gershon played Sharon McCarthy in the 2007 adaptation of the Irish writer Cecilia Ahern's novel of the same name. She was one of the best friends of the lead character, Holly (Hilary Swank).
Sharon helped the New York-based Holly as she struggled with the death of her Irish husband, Gerry (Gerard Butler).
HER's sister publication JOE recently interviewed Gershon about her scene-stealing turn in the Prime Video action thriller The Assassin, opposite Freddie Highmore and Keeley Hawes.
During the conversation, Gershon was asked about her writing career, and she revealed that she has penned a new script with LaGravenese.
"When I had Covid, I came up with this story that I finally finished right around five months ago. Then I've been working - acting. So, I kind of set it aside," she told JOE.
"I wrote a script with Richard LaGravenese, who wrote P.S. I Love You. So, I'm quite excited. I'm starting to send that out now.
"I'm just finishing a book, which is my third book, which I'm really excited about. It comes out in March. I'm in a writing wave right now, for sure."
When asked if there was anything she could reveal about the script she wrote with LaGravenese, Gershon told JOE:
"It's the Chinese-Jewish rom-com we've all been waiting for."
She also added: "Yeah, it'd be fun. I might as well write my own parts, and hopefully someone will give me money to make these movies.
"Put it out there! Anyone who wants to fund it, I'm starting to send it out now."
JOE also asked Gershon about her experiences filming parts of P.S. I Love You in Ireland.
Iconic Dublin venue Whelan's famously made an appearance in the romantic comedy-drama, standing in for a Wicklow pub.
In response, the actress said:
Gershon added: "I like being in Europe a lot. I would love to work here more and more. I'd love to work in Ireland.
"It's tricky in America at the moment. It's good to get out for a while."

"I love Ireland. I have a lot of friends in Dublin, really good friends. It was great to be able to be there.
"Shooting there outside, tricky. Because the weather changes, the climate's different every 15 minutes. So, it's hard to get continuity.
"But I loved it. It's nice to be able to work and then go out with my friends and have a drink afterwards.
"I like Dublin a lot. I think Dublin, London and just out here [in Europe], everyone seems so much nicer than they do in the States.
"There's a certain civility and a kindness that we seem to be lacking a little bit more and more."
