The untitled romantic comedy -- produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions and Witherspoon's Type A Films -- will be written by Grey's Anatomy writer Krista Vernoff. The role will follow Witherspoon's buzzed-about turn in This Means War, set for a February 17 release.
Seacrest's production company currently oversees four incarnations of E!'s mega-smash Kardashian franchise and seven other unscripted shows.

The busy 36-year-old -- who dates Footloose's Julianne Hough -- says he's fine with wearing so many hats.
"I work best inundated with things," he told The Hollywood Reporter, "when it's like raining information."
Adds pal Simon Fuller of Seacrest: "He knows what people are thinking about, and as a producer that really gives him a leg up."
