Julia Roberts kicks off her Second Act

Julia Roberts will produce and star in the new workplace comedy Second Act.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the picture concerns a privileged woman who has never worked a day in her life. She eventually has to take a job, and we’re going to assume it’ll be the result of the global financial crisis (the one per cent loves to portray the other ninety-nine in film).

No writer or director is yet attached.

Roberts will next be seen in Tarsem’s Snow White flick Mirror Mirror.
