Jami Gertz’s Lime Orchard Productions are also producing. Mangold will produce along with his partner Cathy Konrad (who found the project and bought the rights) under their Tree Line Films banner. Witherspoon’s character decides to try to find the girl’s biological mother and convince her to give up parental rights to allow the teen a new and better life.Īmanda Seyfried is currently in talks for the co-starring role of the girl’s mother but no deal is in place. The memoir, adapted by Lewis Colick ( The Fighter) and Michael Petroni ( The Book Thief), is the story of a young Florida girl who entered the child welfare system when she was four and establishes a relationship with a volunteer (Witherspoon) who discovers her there nine years later. Once again, James Mangold will direct Witherspoon as its star. Now the two are reuniting for a new project called Three Little Words, an adaptation of Ashley Rhodes-Courter’s memoir, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Eight years ago, Reese Witherspoon starred in James Mangold’s musical biopic Walk the Line opposite Joaquin Phoenix, playing June Carter to his Johnny Cash, and it took her all the way to Oscar night where she won her first and only nomination in the Lead Actress category.
