If all goes well, actress Emily Blunt could star opposite Rupert Friend in comedy film "Barton and Charlie and Checco and Bill", which is also the latter's feature directorial debut.
The duo last appeared alongside one another in the 2009 docudrama "The Young Victoria".
Friend has written the script of "Barton and Charlie and Checco and Bill", and will produce it alongside Aaron L. Gilbert of Bron Studios and Margot Hand, reports variety.com.
The film centers on a grifter who's stuck in a rut and meets a woman who might change everything. They embark on a road trip adventure of con-artistry, disguise, lies and love while pursued by a Confederate newspaper mogul.
