Gwyneth Paltrow is having a Fiennes old time in the movie business.

After co-starring with Joseph Fiennes in "Shakespeare In Love,"
Paltrow is now set to co-star with his brother Ralph in a big-screen
version of A.S. Byatt's novel "Possession: A Romance," according to
The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is to be directed by Neil LaBute, who helmed the
controversial indie films "In The Company Of Men" and "Your Friends
And Neighbors," as well as the upcoming release "Nurse Betty",
currently creating a stir at Cannes.

Aaron Eckhart, who recently appeared in "Erin Brockovich," is in
talks to co-star, which would make it his fourth time appearing in
LaBute's work.

The film tells the story of two academics researching the life of
poet Randolph Ash, and how the discovery of a love-letter written
by him changes their understanding of themselves, The Hollywood
Reporter says.
