LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Richard Curtis is better known for the films he wrote than the films he directed, but he sees himself working behind the camera more and more.
His writing credits include the English romantic comedies "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and he both wrote and directed 2003's "Love Actually."
Curtis was back on set with "Pirate Radio," the U.S. version of "The Boat That Rocked" which opened in Britain in April. The U.S. version, released on November 13, is 17 minutes shorter. It stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy and Kenneth Branagh.
