Moore has finished Romantic Comedy, based on Bernard Slade's Broadway play, which will be released in October, and he is now working on Unfaithfully Yours, a remake of the Preston Sturges comedy, in which he portrays a famous conductor, convinced that his beautiful young wife (Nastassia Kinski) is having an affair behind his back.
