'Slumdog's Beaufoy writing 'Leap Year'

Rex Features

Slumdog Millionaire writer Simon Beaufoy has been hired to pen the Amy Adams rom-com Leap Year.

The Oscar-nominated screenwriter will rework Made of Honour pair Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan's script, which follows Adams's character as she journeys across Ireland to propose to her boyfriend on February 29 of a leap year, a day when women traditionally pop the question to men.

Anand Tucker (And When Did You Last See Your Father?) boarded the project as director last year.

Beaufoy previously scripted Adams's screwball comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day and The Full Monty.
