Oscar nominee Viola Davis is a beautiful actress who can morph into any character and make it more than believable.
So, I am delighted to hear that she is negotiating to take a role in Columbia’s Eat, Pray, Love opposite Julia Roberts and Richard Jenkins. To get the role, all Davis has to do is work out her scheduling. She would play Roberts’ best friend, Delia.
With Julia Roberts attached to Ryan Murphy’s script, based on the adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir, which he is also directing, the movie is sure to draw a large female audience because the film is about a woman (Roberts) who sets out on an international journey of self-discovery after enduring a terrible divorce.
Davis was nominated this year for best supporting actress for her role in Doubt – what an honest performance, she’s magical.

Richard Jenkins joins Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir with adaption by Ryan
Murphy, who is also directing.
The story is about a woman (Roberts) who seemingly has it all but comes to the realization that life isn’t for her. After a painful divorce, she sets out on a journey of self-discovery around the world.
Jenkins plays a Texan, a man with a dark past who is also on a spiritual journey, whom Roberts’ character meets at an Indian ashram.
I have seen the book resting in women’s arms at coffee shops a various occasions, and Oprah has featured the writer and book.
The majority of the cast is expected to reflect the book’s international flavor; the story is set mostly in Italy, India and Bali.
