"Veronica Mars" herself Kristen Bell will play the title role in the romantic comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" during her annual two-month break from the series reports Production Weekly.

Jason Segel ("How I Met Your Mother"), penned the script and will co-star with Bell, with Nick Stoller is making his directing debut.

After a devastating break-up with his girlfriend TV sitcom star Sarah Marshall (Bell), a heartbroken and depressed Peter (Segel) heads to Hawaii, for a little vacation to try his best to forget every detail of his relationship with Sarah.

But love laughs at Peter, because Sarah is vacationing in the same exclusive resort as Peter, along with her new boyfriend.

The project will start filming mid-April on location at the Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu, Hawaii and Los Angeles.
