Zeta-Jones on the ball with rugby comedy
( 2001-05-14 16:36 ) ()

Catherine Zeta-Jones is returning to her native Wales to produce ``Coming Out,'' a comedy about a Welsh rugby club.

Her brother, Lyndon Jones, came up with the idea, and pitched it to his sister. They will produce the film through Milkwood Films, their Los Angeles-based movie company.

It will be directed by Sara Sugarman (``Mad Cows'').

``Catherine feels passionately about maintaining her ties with Wales and about doing what she can to promote filmmaking in Wales,'' Jones said.

``I think Wales has immense talent both in front of and behind the camera,'' Zeta-Jones said, ``and I am excited about the prospects of this film, which has a charming script and will be directed by one of our most interesting directors.''
