Zellweger has signed on for the leading role in the sports comedy film, with Sex and the City director Michael Patrick King attached to helm the project.
Coming off her critically-acclaimed performance in 2019’s biopic drama Judy, two-time Oscar winner Renée Zellweger is making her comeback to the comedy genre with Landline Pictures’ The Back Nine.
The Back Nine centers around Casey Jones, a woman who gave up a golf career so that her husband could have one.
The film will be directed by Michael Patrick King from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jhoni Marchinko and Krista Smith.
