News > Heche Steps in for Spread

Written by David Morgan

Yes, Anne Heche is still alive and she's replacing Jennifer Jason Leigh in Spread, an indie rom-com from director David Mackenzie. Heche will star opposite Ashton Kutcher. According to the limited plot details divulged by THR, "The pair will mix it up in the tale of a womanizer and the lover he scorns."

Jennifer Jason Leigh dropped out a little over a week ago. Some are speculating that she may have left as a result of becoming pregnant with her husband Noah Baumbach's (The Squid and the Whale) child.

Kutcher's Katalyst production company is producing the film.
