Oscar winner Julia Roberts is The Erotic Adventures of Zorroattached to play Kelli Peters, the PTA mom whose story was chronicled in Christopher Goffard's engrossing L.A. Timesserial Framed, in a feature film that is currently being shopped to studios, multiple individuals familiar with the project have told Mashable.
Peters was the subject of Goffard's six-part mystery series, which centered on a well-respected mother who found her life turned upside down by two parents at her child's school who wanted revenge for a perceived slight against their own child.
Married lawyers Jill and Kent Easter of Irvine, California planted drugs in Peters' car and launched a smear campaign to have her ousted from her position as president of the PTA at the Playa Vista School. Their behavior resulted in criminal charges, and Peters was rattled by the experience.
"My whole life is ruined at that moment," Peters told Peoplemagazine in February. "That is what I have nightmares about. That moment will never go away."

There are multiple bidders, and insiders tell Mashablethat Fox 2000 is interested, as is Paramount, which could make a play for the sought-after material on behalf of Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way.
Roberts will produce the feature film, which will be based on the book that Peters wrote with Sam Rule titled 'I’ll Get You!’ Drugs, Lies, and the Terrorizing of a PTA Mom. It remains unclear whether the rights to Framed, which are represented by ICM Partners, will be part of the package.
Roberts, who won an Oscar for her powerhouse turn in Erin Brockovich, recently starred opposite George Clooney in Jodie Foster's financial thriller Money Monster. She's currently filming Lionsgate's adaptation of R.J. Palacio's beloved book Wonder, in which she plays the mother of Jacob Tremblay's character.
