Paramount Pictures has snatched up the screen rights to another book, this time Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love". Ryan Murphy has already been hired to adapt and direct it as a star vehicle for Julia Roberts, according to Variety.

The book is romantic fiction mixed with the memoirs of its author spending a year equally among three different countries: Italy, India, and Bali. It's a journey of self-discovery and a lot of emotional mumbo jumbo. It'll play like gangbusters to the same audience that went gaga for Under the Tuscan Sun.

Julia could use the work, since she hasn't showed up in anything since 2004's Ocean's Twelve. She's doing some voice acting in movies like The Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web, but this and the 2008 movie Charlie Wilson's War are the only upcoming movies where she'll actually show her mug.
