It looks like Julia Roberts is returning to our screens in Charlie Wilson's War and The Friday Night Knitting Club, now word is she's set to produce and star in the adaptation of Happiness Sold Separately by Lolly Winston.

The book, according to Variety through CHUD of all places, is bestseller and Scott Coffey is set to write and direct the film. According to the blurb on Amazon:

Elinor Mackey has lived her life in perfect order: college, law school, marriage, successful corporate career. But suddenly her world is falling apart. In her late 30s, she's discovered that she and her chiropodist husband, Ted, can't have children. When Elinor withdraws from Ted into an interior world of heartbreak and anger, Ted begins an affair with Gina, the nutritionist at their gym - a young woman with an oddball son who adores Ted. Meanwhile, Elinor falls in love with the oak tree in her front yard, spreading out her sleeping bag to sleep under the stars. Lolly Winston's second novel looks beyond the manicured surface of suburbia to a world of loss, longing, lust and betrayal.

Yeah, I know it's long. Still it does sound just like a Roberts film. Is it right for her to go back to this kind of film? Should she play it safe, or should she try pushing her talent and getting into something better? After all Charlie Wilson's War is a real strong film for her to come back to, and then she's going to step back to the soppy roles for Knitting Club and then this film.
