Julia Roberts has signed on to produce and star in Hothouse Flowers, based on an as yet unpublished novel by Margot Berwin. Roberts would play a divorced woman who leaves her job at a Manhattan ad agency and goes on an adventure that takes her to places she never expected to see. Because she's a strong, independent woman – dammit – and that's just how she rolls.
A script doesn't currently exist and nobody can actually start on it until the strike's over. Roberts will first star in Duplicity with Clive Owen.
