Brittany Murphy will star in the romantic dramedy THE RAMEN GIRL from producer-distributor Media 8 Entertainment, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Robert Allan Ackerman's film centers on an American woman (Murphy) who finds herself stranded in Tokyo after a bad breakup. She decides to train as a ramen noodle chef with a tough instructor (Toshiyuki Nishida).

Murphy and Ackerman are producing the project, scheduled to begin principal photography in September with a theatrical release next year.
