Emily Watson, Sandra Oh join “33 Liberty Lane” phone-sex comedy cast

The femme comedy quartet of Emily Watson, Sandra Oh, Nia Vardalos and Melora Hardin have checked into to 33 Liberty Lane, a romantic comedy about four friends who set up a phone-sex company, The Hollywood Reporter said.

British helmer Peter Hewitt (Garfield, The Borrowers) is set to direct the laffer for producers Su Armstrong (Good Will Hunting) and Brian Rosen (Ferngully) of Australian shingle Tree. Filming is set to start this summer in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The film's plot has the down-on-their-luck women turning to telephone sex as a way to make a quick buck. But without much in the way of sexual expertise, they enlist the services of a local hooker to keep their new erotic business afloat.

Danish sales group Level K has picked up world sales duties on 33 Liberty Lane and will be shopping the title to buyers in Cannes next month.
