Julia Roberts might not have earned rave reviews for her Broadway debut in the play Three Days Of Rain. But the show has been a sell out success and the writer is bringing it to the big screen.
Deborah Reinsch has nabbed the rights to playwright Richard Greenberg’s work and plans to produce and adapt a film version. She’s already hired Greenberg to bash out a screenplay, which will follow the play’s decade-hopping plot about a brother, sister and their childhood mate who meet up again when the siblings’ father dies.
"The movie is about how little children never really know about their parents," Reinsch told Variety about the project. Sounds like a gut-buster.
There’s no word yet on whether Julia or stage co-stars Paul Rudd (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) and Bradley Cooper (Alias) will swap their theatre parts for movie shoes, but Reinsch hopes to crank up the cameras early next year.
