Daily Variety: MGM inks Hunt for a 'Return' engagement
Michael Fleming's DISH column Archived March 16, 2000

After making her feature directing debut at MGM with the David Duchovny-Minnie Driver-starrer Return to Me, the studio has signed Bonnie Hunt to a two-year first look deal to direct more films for the studio. Hunt, best known for an acting resume that includes Jerry Maguire and Jumanji, may possibly follow Return with Anniversary, a comedy she has written with Don Lake, her scripting partner on Return to Me, which will be released in April. "Return," said MGM president Michael Nathanson, "strikes a chord with the audience, has tested the highest of any in MGM history, and it is special for us in that it came together when Chris McGurk came here. It led us to want to embark on a new deal for future movies with Bonnie." He's hoping Hunt will start production this year on Anniversary, a comedy about a separated couple that reunites to attend the 50th anniversary party of the man's parents. Amid the chaos that ensues, the couple falls back in love. Under the MGM deal, Hunt will have a development exec and a discretionary fund. She's repped by CAA and attorneys Gerald Edelstein and Bill Sobel. #
