If you’ve been following this casting hullabaloo on Grey’s Anatomy, which recently included news of Kate Walsh returning to Seattle Grace, you probably know that news of Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight leaving the show spread like wild fire days ago courtesy of fellow cast member James Pickens, only to be denied (vaguely) by creator Shonda Rhimes. Apparently, whether or not Heigl will leave the ABC medical dramedy, the actress has made plans to keep herself busy during off-season, so to speak.
After 27 Dresses and Knocked Up, Heigl will join Ashton Kutcher in the thriller Five Killers as a woman who marries her own McDreamy (or McDenny if you want to be faithful to the Grey’s storyline) while on vacation, only to find out that the couple next door are assassins out to kill her and her husband. Five Killers will be directed by Robert Luketic, whom Heigl worked with in an upcoming romantic comedy The Ugly Truth.
The upcoming project for Heigl will take her to Atlanta and the south of France.
