Richard Gere is ready for another romantic comedy but this time his Pretty Woman isn't Julia Roberts.

Instead, he gets on-screen kisses with cutie Meg Ryan. The two are set to start filming "Wedlocked," a movie about two divorce lawyers who seek therapy to try and save their own marriage. Their sessions get them fingercuffed together for 48 hours.

Filming is set to begin as soon as Ms. Ryan finished up her latest movie 'Against The Ropes' and Rich wraps up Chicago. The stars haven't signed their names on the bottom line but executives say that's only because of scheduling and current filming.
