It was announced on Monday that Katherine Heigl has signed on to star as Stephanie Plum in 'One For the Money' based upon the novel by Janet Evanovich of the same name.
Variety reports that the movie is being made by Columbia Pictures and Lakeshore Entertainment.
Lakeshore's Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi are producing "One for the Money" with Wendy Finerman ("The Devil Wears Prada").
Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith penned the screenplay, and Liz Brixius has been brought onboard to do a polish.
There are currently 15 books in the series and they follow Stephanie Plum as a lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter. The Amazon.com review of the book says :
"Stephanie Plum is so smart, so honest, and so funny that her narrative charm could drive a documentary on termites. But this tough gal from New Jersey, an unemployed discount lingerie buyer, has a much more interesting story to tell: She has to say that her Miata has been repossessed and that she's so poor at the moment that she just drank her last bottle of beer for breakfast. She has to say that her only chance out of her present rut is her repugnant cousin Vinnie and his bail-bond business. She has to say that she blackmailed Vinnie into giving her a bail-bond recovery job worth $10,000 (for a murder suspect), even though she doesn't own a gun and has never apprehended a person in her life. And she has to say that the guy she has to get, Joe Morelli, is the same creep who charmed away her teenage virginity behind the pastry case in the Trenton bakery where she worked after school."
I have read the books and I can totally see Katherine Heigl playing the role of Stephanie Plum and I am excited to see who else gets cast in the movie.
