The idea is she winds up in the furthest place from Dublin and it’s about her journey and how she changes as a character

Next month shooting will begin on Leap Year, a romantic comedy starring the Oscar-nominated Amy Adams and boasting Simon Beaufoy, who won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay for Slumdog Millionaire, as script writer.

Adams, best-known for her role in Enchanted, the box-office hit about a fairytale princess who finds herself in New York, will play an American who travels to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend on February 29. According to the film, not only is it Irish tradition for women to propose on “leap day” but their men have to say “yes”.

When weather forces Adams’s uptight character to veer off course, she finds herself forced to rely on a surly local innkeeper to help her find her beau. The two trek across the countryside to try to get to Dublin to pop the question before time runs out. The pub owner will be played by Matthew Goode, an actor hailed as one of Britain’s rising stars.

Producers from Spyglass Entertainment arrived in Ireland a week ago and are currently scouting for remote and picturesque locations for the shoot.

Jake Weiner, a creative producer on the film, said shooting is due to begin at the start of April for two months. He said: “We are looking for the most beautiful remote places in Ireland to shoot the movie. It’s going to be a great project and we’re thrilled to be here.”

Irish cast and crew will be employed on the movie, which will be directed by Anand Tucker, who directed Shopgirl. “The idea is she winds up in the furthest place from Dublin and it’s about her journey and how she changes as a character,” said Weiner. “We are trying to figure out where is the most remote place to be coming from.”

Adams was nominated for a best supporting actress at last week’s Oscars for her role in Doubt, losing out to Penelope Cruz. It was her second supporting-actress nomination, having received the nod for 2005’s Junebug.

At the end of the Academy Awards ceremony Sunday night, they ran an extended montage of some of the movies that are going to be released this year.  Amy was shown several times for Julie & Julia and once for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.  I’ve added high definition screencaptures to the gallery.  High definition screencaptures of the Academy Awards should be up later today.

The award for best supporting actress has already been announced.  Amy unfortunately did not win, nor did my other choice Marisa Tomei.  The award went to Penelope Cruz.  I’ve already posted a few MQ photos from the red carpet and I will be adding more tonight and tomorrow.

As expected, Amy is at tonight’s Academy Awards where she is nominated for best supporting actress.  Enchanting Amy is the first Amy site to give you a sneak peak at her Oscar look.  Love love love the red dress!

Just added 15 HQ stills from Sunshine Cleaning.  The photos were previously only available in MQ.
