Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt, who hasn't been seen on the big screen in four years, will star in and make her feature directorial debut on "Then She Found Me" reports Variety.
Negotiations are under way for Diane Keaton and Woody Harrelson to join her. Pic will shoot later this year and Hunt has been working on the script on and off for seven years and adapted it from an Elinor Lipman novel. Hunt says "Even though it uses the lens of betrayal as a theme, the ambition is for it to be a comedy even though the subjects are deep and fierce."
Hunt will play a Philadelphia schoolteacher hitting a midlife crisis. In quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her real one, an eccentric talkshow host, materializes and turns her life upside down as she begins a courtship with the father (Harrelson) of one of her students.
