Roberts will play a recently divorced woman who is dissatisfied with her job at a Manhattan ad agency and embarks on an adventure.

The studio bought the rights to the book by Nerve.com writer Berwin. The project, however, has no writer or script because of the almost 3-month-old writers strike.

Roberts stars in "Charlie Wilson's War" and recently wrapped the indie family drama "Fireflies in the Garden." Her next project is Tony Gilroy's thriller "Duplicity."
