Oscar-nominated actress Viola Davis is in talks to star alongside Julia Roberts and Richard Jenkins in Ryan Murphy's upcoming "Eat, Pray, Love."

Based on the memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, the story follows a married woman (Roberts) who sets out to discover herself after realizing the life she's leading is not really the life she wants.

The Hollywood Reporter says Davis would play Delia, the main character's best friend. Jenkins is set to play a Texan whom she will encounter on her trip as well. At one stage, Javier Bardem was also attached to star.

Davis recently scored an Oscar nomination for her strong performance in "Doubt." Some of her other credits include "Nights in Rodanthe," "State of Play" and "Madea Goes to Jail."
