Julia Roberts To Star In Movie Based on Katy Hays' New Novel HOME ECONOMICS

Oscar winner Julia Roberts has signed on to star in and produce an upcoming movie based on Katy Hays' forthcoming novel "Home Economics", which will be published in 2027 by Pamela Dorman Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House's Viking. Sony's 3000 Pictures has acquired rights to the book, which has also been sold in 11 international territories. Hays is set to adapt her novel and executive produce.

Both the book's synopsis and the film's plot are being kept under wraps. Roberts will also produce with partners Lisa Roberts Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill through their Red Om Films label alongside Marc Platt via Marc Platt Productions. Marielle Heller and Leah Holzer will also executive produce.

Jake Bauman and the Sony Literary team were instrumental in bringing the project to Sony's 3000 Pictures. Elizabeth Gabler and Aislinn Dunster will oversee for 3000.

Roberts can next be seen in Warner Bros' upcoming thriller "Panic Carefully" opposite Elizabeth Olsen and Eddie Redmayne. Hays is best known for her New York Times bestsellers "The Cloister" and "Saltwater".
