Variety reports that Renee Zellweger will star in "One and Only," a film based on the a childhood adventure of actor George Hamilton. The project was written by Charlie Peters and will be directed by Richard Loncraine.

Set in the 1950s, the comedy focuses on "the glamorous Anne Deveraux (Zellweger) as she drives down the Eastern seaboard from city to city in a quixotic search for a wealthy man to fund a new life for her and her sons. The film is based on a true story that Hamilton told Merv Griffin about his early life on the road with his mom and brother."

The project is being shopped around in Berlin this week.
