The last time Julia Roberts teamed up with Working Title, the result was Notting Hill and $7 besquillion. Her next project with the company who equate to 90% of the British film industry is set to be a very different beast.
Roberts will play Joan Root, a wildlife conservationist and documentarian who dedicated her life to ecological matters and was murdered in her Kenyan home earlier this year. The unititled film is inspired by a recent Vanity Fair article and the script is being written by David Magee, who wrote the wonderful Finding Neverland.
