Lasse Hallström (upcoming The Hoax) is attached to direct Columbia Pictures’ romantic comedy Sammy, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Delia Ephron, the story kicks off when a woman who can sense what animals are thinking meets a man who claims to have the same relationship with dead people.
Laurence Mark is producing through his Sony-based company alongside Ephron. Hallstrom’s producing partner Leslie Holleran also is set to produce, contingent upon Hallstrom directing.
