Will Reese Witherspoon choose to play Nice? The 'Monsters vs. Aliens' heroine and 'Walk the Line' Oscar winner will co-produce and possibly star in a killer comedy that has fun with -- and plays against -- her good girl persona. Read on for details…

Fox Searchlight Films, the distribution arm behind last year's hits 'Slumdog Millionaire' and 'The Wrestler,' has acquired the rights to Jen Sacks' darkly humorous 1998 novel, Nice, as a potential starring vehicle for Reese, reports Variety.

The story follows a magazine writer who accidentally kills her boyfriend, discovering that killing her dates and disposing of their bodies is a lot easier than the mess of having to break up with them.
