Katherine Heigl is set to star in bounty hunter movie One For The Money.

Variety reports Reese Witherspoon was originally due to take the lead role of unemployed lingerie buyer Stephanie Plum, but the project has been on hold for years and now the Ugly Truth star is attached to the movie.

The film is based on Janet Evanovich’s novel of the same name.

Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Wendy Finerman will produce the movie.

As well as her role on Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine has parts in forthcoming movies Killers and Life As We Know It.
