When in Rome

Kristen Bell stars in When in Rome, opening in theaters January 29, as an ambitious young New Yorker who is disillusioned with romance. On a whirlwind trip to Rome, she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of those who threw them in: a sausage magnate (played by Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter, played by Josh Duhamel, pursues her with equal zest, she’s not sure if his love is the real thing. Filming occurred during the Guggenheim's special exhibition Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want to Believe (Cai's installation, Head On, 2006, can be seen in the photo above).
