Los Angeles: Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger has signed to star in the horror thriller Case 39, playing a social worker who saves an abused 10-year-old girl from her parents only to discover that things are not as they appear.
The project is set up at Paramount Pictures, which is looking for a director.
Zellweger recently dropped out of another Paramount project, The Eye, which was set up at Tom Cruise's production company and has now been shelved.
Case 39 is scheduled to begin shooting on July 31 in Vancouver.
Zellweger has been absent from the horror scene since 1994's The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, made before she became a star.
The actress, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in 2003's Cold Mountain, is filming the Beatrix Potter biopic Miss Potter.
