According to Variety, Aaron Eckhart will star opposite Catherine Zeta-Jones in Mostly Martha, the Scott Hicks-directed remake of the 2001 German film. Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures are financing the Castle Rock production.

Zeta-Jones plays the frosty chef Martha James, who's stunned when her sister dies and leaves a 10-year-old daughter in her care. She also finds herself sharing her kitchen with a charming up-and-coming chef (Eckhart). Their chemistry grows beyond a culinary level.
