Academy Award-winning actress Renée Zellweger (Jerry Maguire, Judy) has signed on to star in feature golf comedy The Back Nine, from Sex and the City writer/director Michael Patrick King, who will direct from a script he wrote with Jhoni Marchinko and Krista Smith.

Amy Baer will make this her new company’s first film, and she will produce with King. Zellweger and Carmella Casinelli will be executive producers for Big Picture Co., along with Marchinko and Smith.

In the film, Zellweger plays Casey Jones, who gave up a golf career so that her husband could have one. When she wakes up one morning to find her 25 year marriage in free fall and her son off to college, she dusts off the clubs she tossed aside years ago in an effort to finally turn pro and redefine the “back nine” of her life.

This sounds like an interesting movie for Zellweger to take on. It will be nice to see her play an everyday woman again. She has great range, and I’m sure she will be fantastic in the role.
