Kidman, Witherspoon swoop on MoriartyMovie session timesFull movies coverage
Jennifer Aniston has reportedly signed up for an adaptation of Sydney author Liane Moriarty's 2010 novel What Alice Forgot.  
It's the third of six novels by New York Times best-selling Moriarty to be optioned by Hollywood, following a Reese Witherspoon-Nicole Kidman adaptation of Big Little Lies which is headed for HBO.  
What Alice Forgot sees a 29-year-old woman suffer 10 years of memory loss, to suddenly wake up at 39 with three kids and in the midst of a terrible divorce.
It was snapped up by TriStar last year and initially had David Frankel, director of The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me, to helm but he has since dropped out. Now Aniston is on board in the lead role, according to trade reports. The film is pitched as a "dramedy", with a bent on the examination of life choices and directions.
On her Facebook page, Moriarty said it was "wonderful news" that Aniston is linked to the project, adding that she'd just seen Cake, in which Aniston plays a chronic pain sufferer, and loved it.
