Julia Roberts is In the Neighborhood
Red Om Films, the production company run by Julia Roberts, has acquired screen rights to the nonfiction book In the Neighborhood by Peter Lovenheim.
In the book, set to be published next Spring, the author makes an effort to get to know his neighbors better by asking if he can come to their homes for sleepovers. His hope is to find something more than the feeling of strangers living with strangers in modern suburbia.
Roberts is currently shooting Eat, Pray, Love for Columbia Pictures.

Bardem would play Felipe, the man she meets and falls in love with on the final leg of said journey. Richard Jenkins also stars.

Julia Roberts Producing Jesus Henry Christ
Julia Roberts will produce Jesus Henry Christ based on a Student Academy Award-winning short film.
The indie comedy revolves around a boy conceived in a petri-dish and raised by a loving, left-wing feminist. At the age of 10, he decides his mother’s love is not enough and begins to follow a trail of Post-It notes stuck around town hoping it will lead him to his biological father. Dennis Lee, who wrote and directed the 2003 short film, will do the same for the feature-length version.
Roberts appears this summer in Lee’s Fireflies in the Garden. The movie also stars Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hayden Panettiere. Roberts will be in theaters later this month in Duplicity with Clive Owen.
