Selena Gomez is to star and produce teenage drama The Sky Is Everywhere.
The Wizards Of Waverly Place star is in talks to adapt Jandy Nelson's novel, which she would also produce through her company July Moon Productions, reported Deadline.
The 19-year-old actress and singer is set to play 17-year-old Lennie Walker, a bookworm who lives in the shadow of extroverted older sister Bailey - but her world is rocked when her sister dies suddenly.
Selena - who also is a UNICEF ambassador and has her own fashion range - set up July Moon in 2008, but this will be the first film on its slate.
