The Hollywood Reporter reports that Meg Ryan will star in "Role of a Lifetime," a film that has been in development hell for almost ten years.

The project was originally setup at Sony but is now being setup at Disney. The project is based on an original script by Allison Burnett.

The trade describes the plot as "a Hepburn/Tracy-like chemistry develops when a British theater director comes to Broadway with a Shakespearean production and investors insist that he cast a movie star in the leading role."

The male lead has not been cast as of yet.
