Oscar winner and one of the most iconic movie stars in the world Julia Roberts is making her way to the small screen in the adaptation of Maria Semple’s book “Today will be different”

The Seattle based novel won rave reviews when it debuted about Eleanor Flood, a woman with small time ambitions forced to awaken to a strange new future.

Roberts is down to play Flood in the adaptation written by Semple herself. Simple has previously written for TV shows like 90210, Arrested Development and Saturday Night Live.

The show is not signed up for a network at the moment but no doubt the big name star will attract immediate attention.
