Rose Byrne and boyfriend Bobby Cannavale will star in Paul Feig's new comedy movie 'Spy' together with Melissa McCarthy, according to TheWrap. Jude Law and Jason Statham will also co-star in Feig's new film for Fox and Chernin Entertainment. Feig previously worked with McCarthy and Sandra Bullock on hilarious "The Heat," and is hoping to launch a franchise about a female James Bond-type, played by McCarthy. Cannavale hasn't officially signed to play a villainous Italian playboy; however his deal is expected to close in the new few days, as production starts next week in Budapest. Cannavale and Byrne will also soon be seen together in Sony's "Annie" remake, which hits theaters in December of this year.
Byrne has been very busy these days promoting her new movie 'Neighbors' also starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. She recently chatted with the New York Times about what she learned about her Neighbors co-star Seth Rogen while filming.
"I learned that Seth is Canadian, and Canadians and Australians actually have a lot in common. We're both heavily influenced by America, we both have large, huge land masses that are uninhabitable, we both still have the Queen on all our money. We're both alcohol drinkers," she said to the newspaper. Byrne also talked about how much she enjoyed working with Rogen, who plays her husband in the movie, saying, "From the start, they wanted to make my character very much a part of the story. From Day 1, Nick [Stoller, the film's director] and Seth were both like, "She's as in on this as everybody else - and as irresponsible as everybody else." That was really exciting."
She is also featured on the cover of Elle Australia's May 2014 issue, which is on newsstands now! The Australian actress wore a Banjo & Matilda sweater and Burberry shorts on the cover.
