Renee Zellweger to Star in Golf Comedy THE BACK NINE

Oscar winner Renée Zellweger ("Judy") is set to star in the comedy "The Back Nine" from Michael Patrick King, executive producer, writer and director of "Sex and the City", and co-creator of "2 Broke Girls".

Zellweger will play Casey Jones, who gave up a golf career so that her husband could have one. When she wakes up one morning to find her 25-year old marriage in free fall and her son off to college, she dusts off the clubs she tossed aside years ago in an effort to finally turn pro and redefine the "back nine" of her life.

King will direct from a script he co-wrote alongside Jhoni Marchinko ("Will & Grace") and Krista Smith. Smith is an accomplished writer and former executive west coast editor at Vanity Fair.

Here's what King had to say about the project:

"Jhoni and Krista and I are very excited to have the amazing Renee Zellweger do our movie 'The Back Nine'. A stunning actress with incredible range, she can make you laugh and cry and has a great golf swing. What more could anyone want?"
