Kate Hudson, currently the in the best actress awards race for “Sung Song Blue,” and Oscar winner Javier Bardem are set to begin a long-distance relationship in the upcoming romantic comedy “Hello & Paris.”

Elizabeth Chomko (“What They Had”) is set to write and direct the film, loosely inspired by Deborah McKinlay’s New York Times Book Review editors’ choice novel “That Part Was True.” It was optioned and will be produced by two-time best picture nominee Finola Dwyer (“Brooklyn,” “An Education”) alongside Fifh Season.

193, a Legendary Company, the film production and global sales company led by Patrick Wachsberger, will represent sales for the film at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.

“Hello & Paris” is billed as a romantic comedy in the vein of the genre’s giants such “Sleepless in Seattle,” “When Harry Met Sally,” and “You’ve Got Mail.” After a prickly first encounter in Paris, a fiercely independent landscape architect and a crisis-ridden bestselling novelist begin a sparky, transatlantic exchange over books and recipes — only to discover that the one thing harder than being alone might be choosing not to be.

“Elizabeth Chomko is a true generational talent, and we couldn’t be prouder to bring her brilliant adaptation to life in partnership with Finola Dwyer,” said Fifth Season’s head of film Christopher Slager. “Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson will sweep audiences off their feet. We can’t wait for the world to fall in love with this story the way we have.”

Added Wachsberger: “More so now than ever, I believe we are in need of stories that bring us all together, and ‘Hello & Paris’ does just that. Visionary filmmaker Elizabeth Chomko has crafted a gorgeous love story, one that both fills the heart and delights the senses. With the incomparable duo of Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson in the lead roles, this film is reminiscent of the timeless classics we know and adore, but with a fresh twist – and a delicious dose of culinary indulgence.”

Chomko is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Bardem is represented by WME and Goodman Genow Schenkman. Hudson is represented by CAA, Untitled, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
