Helen Hunt will star in and make her feature directorial debut on Then She Found Me, a Killer Films-produced drama that Hunt adapted from an Elinor Lipman novel.

Negotiations are under way for Diane Keaton and Woody Harrelson to join her and the film is scheduled to shoot later this year, according to Variety.

"It is a story about betrayal and the surprising, funny and redemptive things that are borne out of that," said Hunt, who has been working on the script on and off for seven years.

In the film Hunt will play a Philadelphia schoolteacher hitting a midlife crisis. In quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her real one, an eccentric talkshow host, materializes and turns her life upside down as she begins a courtship with the father (Harrelson) of one of her students.
