Variety reports that Hayden Christensen will join "Penelope," a film which already has Reese Witherspoon and Christina Ricci attached to star in.

"Penelope" will tell the story of a woman who is born with a curse of bearing the face of a pig. The only way to break it is if she finds true love.

Mark Palansky will direct the film, which is being shot in the U.K.
