Heigl finds her muse
The world's most beautiful Jack Mormon, Katherine Heigl, has found an Emmy winning screenwriter for her vanity project, Escape, about the life of Carolyn Jessop. Jessop, of course, fled the polygamous FLDS sect with her eight children.

Kirk Ellis, who wrote the HBO John Adams mini-series, has agreed to adapt Jessop's book to the screen.

Heigl, Hollywood's fifth highest paid actress and star of Grey's Anatomy, 27 Dresses and Knocked Up is apparently pulling out all the stops for the FLDS drama, including playing Jessop herself. I have to wonder if Heigl will take artistic license with the FLDS couture.

Heigl is a wonderful actress and I think she will do a great job. Could be a really good movie if they can get a decent director and supporting cast.
