The stalled production of the Hollywood romantic comedy "Lost for Words" might get a jumpstart with the possible addition of Tom Cruise to the cast.

　　Universal Pictures, which is producing the film, reportedly invited the Hollywood star to step in as the lead to fill the vacancy left by British actor Hugh Grant, according to leading U.S. showbiz magazine "Variety."

　　Grant quit the project last October after a disagreement about the screenplay with Richard Curtis, his longtime partner in previous films and the producer of "Lost for Words." After Grant's departure, Zhang Ziyi, the lead actress in the film, returned to China to shoot another film.

　　According to media reports, Universal is currently contacting Tom Cruise on the contract.

　　"Lost for Words" is about a love triangle in which a Hollywood actor falls for his Chinese director after romancing her translator during their making of a film. Susanne Bier, the Danish filmmaker and former Oscar nominee, will direct the movie.

　　原定由章子怡和休·格兰特主演的好莱坞爱情喜剧《爱你在心口难开》（lost For Words）去年10月在开拍之初因男主角休·格兰特和制片人闹翻而停拍，章子怡转而返回国内筹备《菲常完美》。昨日（19日），这部差点难产的电影又焕发新生机，美国最大娱乐周刊《综艺》爆料，制片人已经找到更大牌的汤姆·克鲁斯取代休·格兰特和章子怡在戏中谈恋爱。

　　《爱你在心口难开》讲的是一个三角恋的故事：一个肤浅又自大的好莱坞电影明星，接拍了由中国女导演（章子怡饰）执导的电影。但是因为语言方面的障碍，男明星无法和女导演进行沟通，于是女导演邀请了一个女翻译来帮忙。结果，女翻译喜欢上了男明星，而男明星对女导演产生了好感……值得一提的是，三角恋中的女翻译一角也是中国女星出演，之前透露的演员人选正是四川妹子黄璐。

　　该片由环球影业出品，导演是曾以电影《婚礼之后》入围奥斯卡最佳外语片的丹麦新锐女导演苏珊妮·比尔。苏珊妮·比尔原本想借着和《波拉特》（好莱坞超级卖座喜剧）的两位编剧合作，改变一下自己的电影风格。没想到去年10月刚开拍，休·格兰特就要求大幅修改剧本，遭到制片人理查德·科蒂斯拒绝。两位合作搭档闹翻，电影生死成谜。
