It\u2019s been reported that Ryan will star opposite David Duchovny, 61,\u00a0 in \u201cWhat Happens Later.\u201d This new rom-com tells the tale of a couple that finds love while stuck in an airport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ryan shared a first look at the poster for the film on Instagram this week. She included the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdGb0OLL8yu\/\"><span>caption<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cHERE WE GO!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Variety described the project as an \u201cevolved and nostalgic\u201d spin on a romantic comedy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/meg-ryan-david-duchovny-what-happens-later-rom-com-1235139706\/\"><span>The Hollywood Reporter<\/span><\/a><span>, the movie is based on Steven Dietz\u2019s play \u201cShooting Star.\u201d The main characters Willa (Ryan) and Bill (Duchovny) are ex-lovers who find themselves reunited by chance when they\u2019re both caught in a snowstorm and stuck at an airport together overnight. Willa is described as \u201cindependent,\u201d while Bill has recently separated from his wife and is trying to connect with the daughter they share. The two find love in this unlikely situation that makes for perfect romantic comedy fodder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAll each wants is to get home, but over the course of the night, they find themselves at first reluctantly drawn together yet compelled to revisit their past, along with what could have been and what might well be again. But when the versions of their shared history don\u2019t quite add up, where do they go from there?\u201d THR says of the storyline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The movie\u2019s logline is: \u201cWhat if late one snowy night you came face to face with someone from your long ago? Someone who once held your secrets, because once, long ago, that person held your heart.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The film\u2019s tagline is simply, \u201cThey missed their connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ryan hasn\u2019t starred in this type of film since 2009 when she participated in Cheryl Hines\u2019 \u201cSerious Moonlight\u201d alongside Kristen Bell and Timothy Hutton. In 2019, the actress admitted she was writing a romantic comedy and wanted to direct it as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m aware now that romantic comedies are confections, but they have construction. There\u2019s architecture. It\u2019s not something I was aware of back then,\u201d she <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2019\/02\/15\/magazine\/meg-ryan-romantic-comedy.html\"><span>told<\/span><\/a><span> The New York Times Magazine at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When asked if she consciously tried to be charming in rom-coms, the actress replied that charisma couldn\u2019t be faked. \u201cReal charm is probably innate. It\u2019s just there or not,\u201d she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat Happens Later\u201d will begin filming in Bentonville, Arkansas, in 2022 and has an expected release date of sometime in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Meg Ryan was once known as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Sweetheart\u201d thanks to her participation in so many popular romantic comedies. \u201cSleepless in Seattle,\u201d \u201cWhen Harry Met Sally,\u201d and \u201cYou\u2019ve Got Mail\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":1481565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1463684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1463684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1463684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1463684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1481565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1463684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1463684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1463684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
