Kerry Washington to Star in New Romantic Comedy IS HE THE ONE

According to Deadline, SCANDAL's Kerry Washington has signed on to lead MGM's upcoming romantic comedy IS HE THE ONE. DJ Richardson and Michelle Morgan penned the script.

The film, to be directed by THE BEST MAN's Malcolm D. Lee, "begins with a woman dressing for her wedding, and it ends with a walk down the aisle. Washington plays the bride and the story is told in flashbacks that cycle through the three major relationships of her life. The big question: who's at the end of that final walk, waiting for her at the altar?"

Since 2012, Washington has starred on theABC drama Scandal, a Shonda Rhimes series in which Washington plays Olivia Pope, a Crisis management expert to the President. In 2013, she gained wide public recognition for her role and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television series.

Washington is also known for her roles as Ray Charles' wife, Della Bea Robinson, in the film Ray (2004), as Idi Amin's wife Kay in The Last King of Scotland (2006), as Alicia Masters, love interest of Ben Grimm/The Thing in the live-action Fantastic Four films of 2005 and 2007, and as Broomhilda von Schaft, Django's wife, in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012). She has also starred in the critically acclaimed independent films Our Song (2000), The Dead Girl (2006), and Night Catches Us (2010).

In April 2014, Time magazine included Washington in its annual TIME 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World."
