I’ve kept myself from being rabidly jealous of James McAvoy’s wife Anne-Marie Duff by pretending she doesn’t have a major movie career and will never be as successful in life as I inevitably will. But now, well, the jig is up: she’s joining her husband in the cast of the Irish caper comedy Perrier’s Bounty, and by reporting on her I have to admit that she is important and exists at all. Sigh. A dream deferred.
The couple will play part of a trio of people who find themselves unlikely fugitives on the run from a big-time gangster after one of his gang members accidentally dies. Newbie director Ian Fitzgibbon is in charge of the project, with a script from Mark O’Rowe. It looks like a return to British filmmaking for McAvoy, who made a big splash last fall with Atonement and will star in the mega-budget action thriller Wanted this summer.
I’ve never seen Anne-Marie Duff in anything, but I guess it’s time for me to grudgingly admit that it’s always adorable when real-life couples share the screen. Especially when they’re established couples and not two people who hooked up on the set and got the rumor mill flowing (not that I have anything against Brad and Angelina, of course). Perrier’s Bounty looks like it will be a fairly small movie, but maybe thanks to McAvoy’s rising star it will get some extra attention.

You should get your hands on Season 1 and 2 of Shameless! It's a British comedy that they both starred in, and where they first met. They were absolutely fantastic in it!
