Witherspoon and Tennant to travel the world for 80 dates

Reese Witherspoon

After the success of "Sweet Home Alabama" director Andy Tennant and actress Reese Witherspoon have teamed up again to give another blockbuster.

The duo will soon work together on Around the World in 80 Dates, a comedy based on the book of the same name by BBC presenter and travel writer Jennifer Cox.

According to Moviehole quoting The Hollywood Reporter, Witherspoon is only producing the film at this stage, and not starring. Though that could change as the film nears closer to pre-production.

Cox's book revolves around a British travel writer's attempt to find her soulmate, sending her profile and specs to contacts around the world. She then travels the globe, going on dates with the top 80 candidates in 16 countries.
