English actor Matthew Goode, star of the drama "Brideshead Revisited," has signed on to join Amy Adams in a Spyglass romantic comedy flick.

"Leap Year" tells the story of a young woman (Adams) who travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, February 29. When weather forces her to turn around, she asks the help of a cynical Irish innkeeper (Goode) to join her on a cross-country trip.

Anand Tucker will direct the script penned by Harry Elfont and Deb Kaplan. Production kicks off in March in Ireland, as per Variety.

Goode had appeared as Mandy Moore's romantic interest in 2004's "Chasing Liberty" and as a bank robbery gang leader in "The Lookout." He will next be seen as retired superhero Ozymandias in the Zack Snyder film "Watchmen."
