After 12 years in development, Paramount Pictures' drama Dexterity is coming together. The studio has attached Gavin O'Connor to direct Jude Law in the film, which will likely get underway next May. O'Connor's brother and Solaris producing partner, Greg O'Connor, will produce the film with Law and his producing partner Tom Sternberg.

From a script by Karen Croner, Dexterity centers on the struggles of a blue-collar factory town facing the hardships of lay-offs and unemployment. Law stars as Ed King, a small-town factory worker in New York who falls for one of his female co-workers. King soon hits hard times, however, as the factory shuts down virtually destroying the town.

The drama had originally been developed as a starring and directing vehicle for Timothy Hutton. Over the years several stars have been attached, including Matthew McConaughey, Jason Patric, Bridget Fonda and Ashley Judd. Pamela Abdy will now oversee the project for the studio.

Law's currently starring in Paramount's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and has two more studio pics on his docket: Alfie and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Law earned an Oscar nomination this year for his work in Cold Mountain and earned one in 2000 for his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

BREAKING the Law

Oscar-nominated actor Jude Law has started advanced negotiations to star in the Anthony Minghella-helmed drama Breaking and Entering for Miramax Films. The project is currently scheduled to begin shooting in April, marking the first time Minghella has directed his own script since his feature debut, Truly Madly Deeply, in 1991.

In the film, Law would star as Will, a British architect whose personal and professional lives are spinning out of control. After meeting a young immigrant thief, Will is forced to reevaluate his situation.

Law's two Oscar nominations came for work in Minghella films: The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain.

Law Apologizes to Fiancee for Affair

Jude Law publicly apologized to his fiancee, actress Sienna Miller, expressing his "sincere regret" over an affair with one of his children's nanny.

"Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," the 32-year-old actor said in a statement Monday to the British Press Association.

"I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused," said Law, star of "Alfie" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" films.

The publicity firm that represents Miller told The Associated Press the 23-year-old actress had no comment on Law's statement.

Miller was Law's co-star in the remake of "Alfie." The couple became engaged on Christmas Day 2004.

The nanny was identified as Daisy Wright, 26.

Law divorced fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost in October 2003 after a six-year marriage and three children.

that copy and paste is worthless without a pic of the nanny.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

how could you cheat on her, really?
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Just cause she looks good doesn't mean she can't be cheated on. Maybe she was a bore in the sack and wouldn't let Jude do the things he really wanted to. Nannys typically do those nasty things.

I wonder how she found out. That would be hilarious if she caught them having sex while watching one of his movies. Like she walks into the house and hears loud noise coming from the bedroom and she enters and sees Jude with the Nanny bent over and they're watching music from another room. And also, shes drunk. Jude Law strikes me as the type of dude who would bang the Nanny while watching one of his movies.

I read that she found out after one of Jude's kids walked in on him with the nanny and then told Jude's ex-wife, Sadie Frost (what's she been doing lately, anyhow?), who totally called him on it.  No word on whether "The Talented Mister Ripley" was in the DVD player at the time.

And seriously... Sienna Miller.  You just don't cheat on that.  Come on, dude.

The funniest thing about this is the "public aplogy" i mean, that's hilarious. Was his wife really like "CLEAR MY NAME!!!" and then he did it. He did it with a Nanny too, thats hilarious too. Then he apologized...publicly....it's just all hilarious. Fucking hollywood.
