America's Sweetheart Julia Roberts and Forrest Gump Tom Hanks are reportedly going to star in a film together.
According to Variety magazine, Roberts is toying with the idea of featuring in Charlie Wilson's War, a drama set to star Hanks. The project is a joint venture of Hanks' production house Playtone and Universal Pictures.
Mike Nichols is set to direct Aaron Sorkin's fact-based script. The film is based on the book by George Crile and tells the story of a rogue Texas congressman (Hanks) who leads the charge to provide covert funding to Afghan rebels fighting against the Soviet Union. Roberts will most likely play Joanne Herring, a Texas socialite.
