News > Julia Roberts Signs on for Hothouse Flowers

Written by David Morgan

Julia Roberts will produce and star in an adaptation of Margot Berwin's novel, Hothouse Flowers. According to The Hollywood Reporter,

Roberts will play a recently divorced woman who is dissatisfied with her job at a Manhattan ad agency and goes off on an adventure that takes her to places she never expected to go.

A pretty vague logline, to be sure. It sounds like it could be called Erin Brockovich 2: Erin Accidentally Takes the Wrong Bridge and Ends Up in Jersey. There's no script or writer for this project yet, as the 3-month WGA strike has prevented any unionized hands from getting close to the film. Berwin is a regular writer for Nerve.com.
