from www.contactmusic.com – Box office veteran DIANE KEATON is heading to the small screen – she will star in a new comedy for U.S. network HBO.

The Oscar-winner is set to star in an as-yet-untitled new project from writer Marti Noxon, which will see Keaton play a character who sets up a porn mag for women.

Dawn Parouse, who will executive produce the half-hour special with Keaton, insists the Annie Hall star was the first choice – because she is no stranger to playing feminist roles.

She tells the Hollywood Reporter, “Diane has been attracted to roles about women exploring their sexuality in films like Something’s Gotta Give.”
