Sony apparently is so pleased with how the actress and director collaborated on Eat Pray Love (which isn’t out until August 13) that they have made “one of the year’s biggest pitch deals†and paired up Roberts and Murphy for another project. The Glee co-creator will make $5 million in total for writing and directing the Roberts vehicle, in which she’ll play a working woman who is forced to “adjust to motherhood†when she loses her job (and her stay-at-home hubby has to head back to work). Despite this fruitful professional partnership, Roberts won’t be showing up in the halls of McKinley High anytime soon: “No, Julia will not be doing [Glee],†Murphy said Monday.
