Variety reports 14-year-old Emma Roberts (TV's Unfabulous)--Julia Roberts' niece and Eric Roberts' daughter--will star in Nancy Drew: The Mystery in Hollywood Hills for Warner Bros. Pictures and producer Jerry Weintraub.
Andrew Fleming will direct the film, a new story using the marquee characters from the popular Carolyn Keene series -- Nancy and her pals, Bess and George.
Tiffany Paulsen wrote the screenplay, which tracks Nancy Drew as she travels to L.A. with her father and stumbles upon evidence involving the long-unsolved death of a glamorous movie star. Nancy's practical nature and resourcefulness are put to the test when dealing with the self-indulgent world of Hollywood.
Fleming (The In-Laws) is presently working on a rewrite.
Warners made four "Nancy Drew" movies in the late 1930s, all directed by William Clemens.

Poor Eric. Not only has he always been "Julia's brother" but his daughter is now first mentioned as "Julia's niece."
