First Look: Kristen Bell in When in Rome

Posted on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Touchtone Pictures has just released the first two photos from the Kristen Bell / Josh Duhamel romantic comedy When in Rome.

The film tells the story of an ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a “foolish” fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing? The film also stars Alexis Dziena, Kate Micucci, Bobby Moynihan (SNL) and Anjelica Huston.

I went to the theater to see the American remake of Pulse, so I think it’s pretty obvious that I’ll see anything Kristen Bell is in. Even if that something is directed by Ghost Rider/Daredevil helmer Mark Steven Johnson. When in Rome is cheduled to hit theaters in Summer 2009.

The plot sounds intriguing enough to get me interested. Count me in.

Kristen Bell really is a bit overrated on the internet. She's Gellar-Lite and her career seems on pace end up where SMG's is right now.

I like her as well, but I am glad Heroes got rid of her character.

<3 Miss Bell...

Kristen Bell does nothing for me. I mean, I liked her in Sarah Marshall but I saw the movie for Jason Segel, not her.

I LOVE Kristen Bell... mmmmm... I was sad when Veronica Mars was cancelled and I never liked Heroes enough to understand what was going on... I just watched it on mute...

It sounds like a riff on Roman Holiday. Anyhow, I heart Veronica Mars, but haven't seen any of Bell's movies. I guess I'm just holding out and hoping for that VM film they're always talking about.

i thought the same thing too, a complete rip-off.

Jones Johnson

They should've cast Will Arnet to play the role of the magician. A magician with delusions of grandeur. Or illusions of grandeur?

"It's not a trick, Michael. It's an ILLUSION!"

Sorry, I had to.

edward

peter are you fucking serious?

ANGRYBROOMSTICK

looks so fucking lame.

why do they always cast female leads in rom-coms and not anything else?

VegaBro

I stopped at disillusioned with romance.

buzz_clik

I stopped at the photo with made-for-television personalities as the leads.

I just have to say that Kristen Bell is a fine looking woman.

VegaBro

nicely observed

Landfill

Thanks

You're Welcome

I just don't see it? Aren't there enough pretty-faced blonds in Hollywood? And she's just PRETTY, not even GORGEOUS. Nothing special if you ask me. Now a chick like Jennifer Connelly... I'd go to a movie just to stare at her face. Lucky for me, she's also a great actress.

Landfill

I don't know what it is about her but like I said, she's a fine looking woman. I do agree with you though about Jennifer Connolly. She is very gorgeous and I to would go watch a movie just to see her. That's pretty much the only reason why I watched The Day After Tomorrow.

big_daddy

she is teh sexxy

Laura Petersen

I LOVE Kristen, Will and Danny, so I will put down $10 and see it.

Matt

Hopefully since she is doing more movies instead of tv this means the Veronica Mars movie will get started. Still mad she was killed off Heroes though

xblurr

I loves me some Kristen Bell, but I can't stand Josh DOUCHEamel, then again Will Arnett is the shiznit, but this movie looks like dookie.

So by my calculations, I'm not going to see this movie ever.

big_daddy

Josh DOUCHEamel
thats funny, cuz when i saw him, thats the first thing that popped in my head

Captain_Howdy

I'll see it on DVD one day, less my wife drag me to the cinema. By the by, 'When In Rome' is a perfect romantic comedy title.

Marxipan

Hey, those wolves they're walking by are from Head-On by Cai Guo-Qiang. Super-cool.

Diem

Super-cool indeed. I hope the film makes good cinematic use of the piece. It would be refreshing to see a movie showing a side of Rome beyond the same Renaissance & Classical statues and architectural pieces shown in every movie with a setting in Rome.
