Spyglass has set Matthew Goode to star opposite Amy Adams in "Leap Year," the romantic comedy Anand Tucker will direct from a script by Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan.

Adams plays a young woman who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day. When weather forces her to veer off course, she enlists a cynical Irish innkeeper (Goode) to join her on a cross-country trip.

Shooting begins in March in Ireland.

Goode will next be seen in the Zack Snyder-directed "Watchmen," and he recently completed the Tom Ford-directed "A Single Man." Goode starred in "Brideshead Revisited" and "The Lookout."
