Jamie Lee Curtis is wanted to lead the cast of a "Murder, She Wrote" movie.
The 66-year-old actress is being eyed to portray Jessica Fletcher in the Universal film, according to Deadline.
Angela Lansbury famously played the mystery writer and amateur sleuth in the 12-season TV crime drama.
Lord Miller and Amy Pascal are to produce the motion picture from a script penned by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo.
In September 2023, it was revealed a "Murder, She Wrote" movie was adapted for the big screen before the Hollywood strikes.
Schuker Blum told Collider at the time: "We'll tell you one thing that hasn't been reported yet, which is we have written a theatrical feature film version of 'Murder, She Wrote' for Universal, and we're really excited."
