Julia Roberts Will Produce and Star in Workplace Comedy Second Act
Posted on Friday, December 2nd, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Briefly: The career of Julia Roberts has become a less predictable thing than it once was. The actress was once among Hollywoods most highly-paid talents, but as the cycle of concept versus star has swung economic power into the hands of concept, Roberts has been one of many actors to be somewhat diminished.
Roberts has averaged only one film a year for the last few years, and after this years relatively disappointing Larry Crowne she has shot only one role for 2012, in Tarsems Mirror Mirror. Now Roberts has set up a new starring vehicle for herself, and it sounds like one not too different from Larry Crowne: shell produce and star in Second Act, a workplace comedy.
THR reports that the film is just in concept stage at this point, and follows a woman who has never worked and is forced to take a job. There is no writer or director set at this point, .
