    The ex-office actor and Edge of Love starlet were spied sulking on the set of their latest cinematic offering – a Lorene Scafaria-directed doomsday comedy, being shot in Los Angeles.

    ‘It opens with the news report that the laser ray we sent into outer space to try to knock out this meteor shower just didn’t work and so the meteors are coming in a few days,’ spokesman James Schamus, joked in a recent interview. ‘That’s it. End of report’

    Describing the pair as 'two people who live more life in those few days, and really get the hope they hadn’t had in their lives before, because they weren’t fully living them,' Schamus added: ‘Once that sense of mortality really does enter into it, they find they’re given the space to be who they are.'

    It doesn’t hit screens until summer next year, but already, it looks set to become a hit.
