Julia Roberts scrubs temple floors
July 20th, 2009 - 6:06 pm ICT by Sampurn WireOscar winner Julia Roberts of the Pretty Woman fame is gearing up for her next role as a country hopping hippie in search of ‘everything’ for her upcoming “Eat, Pray, Love” movie.
“Eat, Pray, Love”, a book by Pushcart Prize winner Elizabeth Gilbert with the tagline, “One woman’s search for everything across Italy, India, and Indonesia,” is being made into a feature film. In the book, a spirituality memoir, she (played by Julia Roberts in the movie) scrubs the temple floors as part of her devotional duty; and it talks about her struggles with a 182-verse Sanskrit chant, her attempt to meditate while being feasted on by mosquitoes, etc.
A critic has defined it as “the worst in Western fetish of Eastern thought and culture”.
Production Company of Oscar nominated Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) will produce the film, which will be directed by Emmy nominated Ryan Murphy (Nip-Tuck). Other stars include Oscar winner Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), Oscar nominated Richard Jenkins (The Visitor), etc.- Sampurn Media
