Julia Roberts Finds A Second Act

Producing and starring in a new comedyShe'll be attempting to win by nefarious, magical means in next year's Snow White adaptation Mirror Mirror, but Julia Roberts is looking to knuckle down to some serious work for a future project, attaching herself to star in and produce comedy Second Act.Right now, little is known about the movie's plot, beyond the fact that it'll find Roberts as a woman who has never had to work a full day in her life suddenly becoming confronted with the prospect of taking a job. Topical!It's all a little embryonic right now, merely an idea floating around in the head of the actress and her producing partners, including ex-agent Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Maven Pictures' Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray. But production company New Regency is on board to drum up financing for whenever they track down a writer and director to get things moving.All involved will likely be hoping it fares better than either Larry Crowne, which Roberts appeared in this year, and I Don't Know How She Does It, which was adapted from Allison Pearson's book and took a nasty tumble at the box office in September.Mirror Mirror, meanwhile, will be out some time next year.
