Kate Winslet has signed up to Columbia Pictures' Holiday, The Hollywood Reporter reveals.

Also starring Cameron Diaz, the film will be directed, produced and written by Nancy Meyers (Something's Gotta Give).

The romantic comedy will tell the story of an unlucky-in-love American woman (Diaz) who bumps into a British villager (Winslet) in a similar position.

Shooting is due to begin in Europe and the US early next year.
