Sport makes widow of Reese - on camera

Reese Witherspoon is starring in a new romantic comedy, Sports Widow.

She will also produce the film through her Type A Films production company for Universal Pictures.

The project’s title refers to a woman who has virtually lost her husband because he can’t stop watching sports programmes on TV.

In the new movie, Witherspoon decides to take back her life and ends up one-upping her football-obsessed husband by becoming an expert on the sport.
