Julia Roberts to produce Coben adaptation

Julia Roberts is set to produce and star in a film adaptation of Harlan Coben’s latest thriller Fool Me Once, according to Deadline.

The book, pubished by Penguin Random House in the UK and US earlier this month, is about a special ops pilot who comes home to see her husband Joe on the ‘nannycam’ playing with her two-year-old daughter. However, Joe had been murdered two weeks previously.

Roberts will take the lead role in the film as well as produce with Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill through their production company, Red Om Films.

As yet, no more details have been revealed.
