AMC Premiere Event; ''TWO WEEKS NOTICE'' Makes Network Television Debut On AMC.

NEW YORK -- Hit Romantic Comedy Starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant; Triple Play Airing with Premieres for Three Consecutive Nights: Sunday, June 12, Monday, June 13 and Tuesday, June 14 at 8 PM ET/PT

For the first time on network television, AMC presents the hit contemporary romantic comedy TWO WEEKS NOTICE. Starring Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality), Hugh Grant (About a Boy) and Alicia Witt (Playing Mona Lisa), the film premieres on Sunday, June 12 at 8 PM ET/PT, followed by two more consecutive nights on Monday, June 13 and Tuesday, June 14 also at 8 PM ET/PT.

The film also features Dana Ivey (Orange County), Robert Klein (One Fine Day), Heather Burns (Miss Congeniality), David Haig (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Dorian Missick (3D). The film is a Fortis Films Production, produced by Castle Rock Entertainment, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures and NPV Entertainment. TWO WEEKS NOTICE is written and directed by Marc Lawrence (Miss Congeniality).

Sharing the silver screen for the first time, internationally renowned actors Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant star in TWO WEEKS NOTICE, the third collaboration between actress-producer Bullock and screenwriter Marc Lawrence, best known for writing her hit films Miss Congeniality and Forces of Nature. "It's scary and challenging to do a comedic love story," Bullock reveals. "It's difficult enough to be funny, but to find just the right chemistry with someone isn't easy, either. I feel very fortunate that this project came together and allowed me to collaborate with Marc and Hugh, two men I really admire."

The film marks the culmination of Bullock and actor-producer Grant's long search to find the ideal project to do together. "I've always wanted to work with Sandy because to my mind, to my eye and my ear, no one does this kind of comedy better than she does," says Grant, star of the internationally acclaimed hits About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill. "She can be attractive, sexy, believable, funny and romantic all at the same time. We did actually meet up a few years ago to talk about the possibility of working together. I told her a revolting story about the hotel room next door to the one in which I was staying, and I think that put her off for another three years."

On the contrary, says the famously good-natured Bullock: "Hugh is not only a gifted comedian; he's a consummate filmmaker and an incredibly accomplished actor on many levels. No one else can do it like Hugh can."

In the story, millionaire George Wade (Grant) needs a new Chief Counsel but the charismatic head of New York's leading real estate development firm has a bad habit of hiring attractive female attorneys with dubious credentials and then becoming romantically involved. When George runs into Lucy (Bullock), a brilliant attorney with a social conscience, he hires her on the spot but soon finds himself in an interdependent relationship with Lucy -- sans the romance. After rescinding his promise about a real estate deal to Lucy, she walks out. Eventually, George realizes he cannot live without her professionally and personally.
