Roberts and Anne Hathaway are among the all-star cast lining up for the romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," to be directed by Garry Marshall.Joining them in final negotiations to star in the movie are Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper and Ashton Kutcher.
The New Line film's five slightly interconnecting stories play out during a Valentine's Day in Los Angeles:
* Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq on a flight to Los Angeles. Cooper, on the same flight, is a gay man whose lover is a closeted football player.
* Kutcher is an owner of a flower shop who proposes to his girlfriend (Alba), only to realize he is in love with his close friend, played by Garner, who discovers her boyfriend is married.
* MacLaine plays Roberts' mother, a happy retiree who reveals to her husband a long-ago affair.
* Hathaway is an assistant working at the biggest talent agency in town and dating a mailroom assistant; Biel is a publicist unlucky in love who has no date on Valentine's Day.
Major roles still to be cast are the gay football player, MacLaine's husband, the mailroom worker, a talent agent and a young boy looking to give his crush some flowers.
Katherine Fugate wrote the initial draft, and the latest version of the script is by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein.
