SANTA FE - Governor Bill Richardson today announced that Sony Pictures' comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans?, starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant, will shoot in New Mexico.

When a high-powered New York couple witnesses a murder, they are placed in a witness-protection program in a small Wyoming town in Did You Hear About the Morgans?.

The comedy will film for 25 days in and around Roy, Pecos, Santa Fe, Galisteo and Los Alamos from early May through June. The production plans to hire at least 75 local crew members, plus over 1000 background talent. Additional filming will take place in New York.

The film is written and directed by Marc Lawrence (Music and Lyrics, Two Weeks Notice). Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer produce. Anthony Katagas is the executive producer.

Since Richardson took office, over 115 major feature films and television series have shot in the state, adding over $2.4 billion dollars to New Mexico's economy.
