Rosamund Pike (Made In Dagenham) and Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) are in early talks to star in The Godmother.

The Godmother is an adaptation of Carrie Adams’ novel of the same name and follows Tessa, the childless serial godmother of the title, as she grapples with the problems of her friends, while questioning her no-strings-attached lifestyle.

Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) is attached to direct from a script penned by Oscar-winning writer Ron Bass (My Best Friend’s Wedding).

Unanimous Pictures will produce with filming expected to commence mid-2011.
