David Berry makes bold career leap with unexpected R-rated move

David Berry, known for his role of Lord John Grey in Outlander, is set to shake up the big screen in the upcoming R-rated wedding comedy Something Blue.

For the unversed, the movie will be the first US set film by British writer and director Gary Sinyor since The Bachelor, which came out in 1999 and starred Renée Zellweger.

Talks are happening with financiers about an autobiographical project which chronicles a tale of a man getting married for the second time and a woman getting married for the first time.

Expressing his thoughts about the inclusion of Berry, Sinyor said, “David has a laidback Aussie charm which conflicts superbly with the rude chaos that surrounds him in the project. Now we just have to find his equally charming bride.”

The 63-year-old English film director added, “Across the cast, we’re looking at funny funny people on social media as well as established talent. Something Blue should help a few actors with star potential cross over from the online world into the mainstream cinema.”

“It’s been too long since I’ve filming in the U.S. Some say Hollywood has given up on comedy, but comedy should never give up on Hollywood, despite better incentives being offered elsewhere. I like the idea of shooting on location and supporting the U.S. industry which used to be known for making the laugh-out-loud comedy,” Sinyor noted.
