001116 Julia in "A Time to be Born"?
- Actress-turned-director Anjelica Huston has signed to develop and direct Revolution Studios' feature "A Time to Be Born" as a starring vehicle for Julia Roberts. Huston will adapt Dawn Powell's satirical novel of the same name. The story, set during early World War II, is about wealthy NewYorkers who use one another for selfish means. The book follows a lower-middle-class woman in a small town who marries into wealth after
stealing a newspaper baron away from his wife. While she enjoys a rise in New York society, including success as a romance novelist of ghostwritten books, her friends continue in their mundane lives. The woman ends up using an old friend from her anonymous past to cover for an affair she is having with an old beau she doesn't care for. Her world threatens to crumble when sparks fly between her old friend and beau and her wealthy husband decides to seek revenge on his unfaithful wife. Huston pitched the story to Roberts, who agreed to come aboard and develop the project..

- Julia Roberts has committed to star in the as-yet-untitled
"Project 3" for Revolution Studios that reunites her with
"The Mexican" filmmakers Gore Verbinski and J.H. Wyman. The
project is set for an April 1 start. Roberts will star in
the psychological thriller after she completes roles in two
other films. After a turn for her "Erin Brockovich" director

11" for Warner Bros., Roberts will segue to the Joe Roth-directed
comedy "America's Sweethearts" for Revolution that is scheduled
for a January start. Roberts committed to "Project" -- described
as in the vein of George Cukor's 1944 classic "Gaslight" --

Garner and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Roberts' longtime agent
who joined Revolution in September (HR 9/7). Roberts' Shoelace
