LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl will headline "Life As We Know It," a drama about two single people who suddenly become caregivers to an orphaned girl after the parents, their mutual best friends, are killed in an accident.

The project, which has been kicking around Hollywood since at least 2001, will be directed for Warner Bros. by "Everwood" creator Greg Berlanti. No start date is set.

Heigl has had a solid film career since her breakthrough in the 2007 comedy "Knocked Up." She is following up her rom-com hit "27 Dresses" with the July 24 release "The Ugly Truth," co-starring Gerard Butler.
