Ewan & Emily

Ewan & Emily Blunt go “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” Emily Blunt has returned to work in her native London just a little bit over a month after tying the knot with fellow actor John Krasinski.

Her latest project entitled, Salmon Fishing in Yemen has her paired with My adorable Scotsman Ewan and beloved actress Kristin Scott Thomas.

Lasse Hallström (Chocolat, Dear John) is directing the film from the script by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) which was adapted from the Paul Torday novel. Currently in its second week of filming, the romantic tale follows government scientist Dr Alfred Jones (Ewan), as a fly fishing-obsessed Sheikh (Amr Waked) tasks him with a seemingly impossible task – introducing salmon to the wadis of the Yemen.

With the British government desperate for a good news story in the area, the Prime Minister’s fearsome spokesperson, Patricia Maxwell (Scott Thomas), seizes on the idea and makes Jones responsible for the success of the project. Jones also begins to fall for the Sheikh’s representative Harriet (Blunt).

Salmon Fishing in Yemen is set to hit theaters in 2012.
