Jessica Biel has been cast as the lead in the indie romantic comedy 'Easy Virtue'.
Based on the Noel Coward play, the film tells the story of an American divorcee (Biel) who heads to the South of France. Once there she jumps into a whirlwind romance and wedding with an English guy (Ben Barnes, the handsome devil who is soon to be seen in the next Narnia film).
Then the newly weds travel to the UK to face the music with his disapproving parents (Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas).
Alfred Hitchcock did the first film adaptation of Coward's 1924 play for a 1928 silent movie and this time around 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' director Stephan Elliott will be at the helm.
Last year was a great one for the former '7th Heaven' star following on from her performance in The Illusionist alongside Ed Norton and 2008 already looks set to top it.
She recently finished filming 'Powder Blue' with Forest Whitaker and 'A Woman of No Importance' with Annette Bening.
She's currently preparing to star in the thriller 'Die a Little', based on Megan Abbott's acclaimed 2006 novel. She recently produced as well as starred in the short film 'Hole in the Paper Sky', which will be released later this year and is preparing to hone her production skills even further in 'Die A Little'.
