Wed 30 Jan 3:20 PM

Gerard Butler has signed on to star in a new romantic comedy alongside Katherine Heigl in The Ugly Truth.

Butler will play a TV host of a show called The Ugly Truth. He decides to put his single producer (Heigl) through a series of outlandish experiments to prove that he can find her love.

Butler said, "I'm excited about that. Recently I’ve done a bit of comedy, but this is a full-on romantic comedy.”

The film, which is being billed as a classic battle of the sexes comedy, will be directed by Legally Blonde's Robert Luketic.

Shooting is set to begin in April.
