'Martha' adds to recipe

Clarkson joins Zeta-Jones, Eckhart in remake

Patricia Clarkson has been set to join Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart in "Mostly Martha," the Scott Hicks-directed remake of the 2001 German film.

Castle Rock Entertainment is producing the romantic comedy, and Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow co-finance.

Clarkson, who's coming off "Good Night, and Good Luck," will play the owner of a restaurant whose beautiful but fragile chef (Zeta-Jones) cooks up a romance with an eccentric sous chef (Eckhart).

Carol Fuchs adapted the original film, which Sandra Nettlebeck wrote and directed. Sergio Aguero and Kerry Heysen produce; Bruce Berman and Susan Cartsonis are exec producers.

Clarkson next will be seen in the Steve Zaillian-directed "All the King's Men."
