Christina Ricci has boarded "Born to Be a Star," a comedy Adam Sandler co-wrote and is set to produce with Jack Giarraputo. Tom Brady, who delivered the crappy "The Combacks," will direct.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the plot follows a nerd who discovers his quiet parents were famous porn stars during the 1970s.

Motivated by his parents' legacy, he decides to head to Hollywood and enter the porn industry himself, hoping to become the biggest adult-film star the world has ever seen. Ricci is set to play his girlfriend.

No word yet on whether Sandler will star in "Star," but you'll soon see him play a stand-up comedian in Judd Apatow's "Funny People."

As for Ricci, she last starred in "Speed Racer." She will also soon be seen in "New York, I Love You" and "After.Life."
