Julia Roberst for Eat, Pray, Love
According to Variety, Paramount Pictures has acquired the screen rights to the Elizabeth Gilbert memoir Eat, Pray, Love and will develop the film as a star vehicle for Julia Roberts.
Gilbert had a husband, a big apartment and a weekend home and was trying to get pregnant, until she realized that wasn't the life she wanted. After a painful divorce, she set off on a journey of self-discovery around the world.
Ryan Murphy will adapt and direct the story with, Plan B's Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner set to produce.
Murphy recently formed a relationship with Plan B with his feature directing debut, Running With Scissors. Murphy has also set up a series with Plan B, 4 oz., over at FX.
Murphy is working to get Eat, Pray, Love written and ready so he can make it quickly after wrapping Dirty Tricks. It's a large-scale epic that covers four countries, and the author has rebuffed numerous overtures from actresses since the book was published.
Stay tuned for updates.
