Add another movie to Hilary’s list of upcoming films: ‘The Business of Falling in Love.’

Here’s a small step back: the film is a family movie, which is different from her previous mature roles. The movie is planned to air on TV. Hilary will be executive producer to the film as well, having Gil Junger as the director.

ABC Family is teaming with Hilary Duff for “The Business of Falling in Love,” a romantic comedy based on the book “Diary of a Working Girl,” by Daniella Brodsky.

Gil Junger has signed to direct the two-hour original movie, which will star Duff as a fashion reporter who goes undercover in the business world in the hopes of finding love while writing an article about dating men in suits.

In addition to starring, Duff will executive produce the film alongside Frank Von Zerneck, Robert Sertner, Ira Pincus and Jessica Horowitz.

Several relevant online sources like Variety Online, Screen Daily and The Hollywood Reporter have announced a new movie project for Hilary.

The film, entitled ‘A Great Education’, will be starred in by actors like Ben Kingsley - you may remember him from War, Inc., so Hilary and Kingsley have worked together -  and co-financed by Myriad Pictures.  The film will also introduce Chris Keyser for his debut directing feature.

The film is “about a Harvard scholarship student who learns hard truths about life after he is welcomed into an upper-class clique.” Casting is still out for two more male leads.

Myriad Pictures is coming aboard Chris Keyser’s directorial debut, “A Great Education,” with company president and CEO Kirk D’Amico producing alongside Laurence Mark.

Ben Kingsley and singer-actress Hilary Duff are attached to star.

Keyser’s script centers on a young man who is accepted to Harvard on scholarship and ends up joining elite singing group the Krokodiloes. Captivated by their fast-moving world of parties, social engagements, private clubs and air of entitlement, he falls for society girl Liza (Duff), and his studies begin to suffer despite warnings from his professor (Kingsley).

Harvard grad Keyser is best known for the TV series “Party of Five.” Mark earned an Oscar nomination in 1997 for “Jerry Maguire” and also produced “Dreamgirls” and this year’s Oscar ceremony.

D’Amico said Keyser’s script is full of complex characters and that he is looking forward to the film will go into production in October in Canada.

Were you wondering what the script from March 19 was?

My eyesight is 20/20, so it’s easy for me. Sucks to be you if you’re half blind.

Just kidding, zomg. My eyes are abnormal, too, don’t worry. These photos came from our gallery, and I was studying them yesterday until my eyes popped out, but I didn’t even spot these.

The script says ‘Law & Order’. A fan observed it carefully and came up with the conclusion that it said ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’. He’s got some amazing eyesight — I wish my eyes were as powerful. One of the stuff that I can only spot was the Reach Out script (from last year at MissDuff.com) and I assume the font size of the heading “Reach Out” was around 200pt. lol.

EDIT: Ooh, ooh, ooh! I found out what the episode title is! (It’s the one with the quotation marks) The episode title is ‘Selfish’. Dumb name, but whatever.

I don’t really care about this show, so I don’t know the difference between the original one and the SVU one.

This is so exciting, though! Yet another guest starring on a TV show. Oh, I just forgot that this was a casting call — if they didn’t get Hilary for that role, I’m gonna hunt them down.

Oh, yeah, I don’t regret saying that the NBC show was slow. I’ll only take it back if I saw an unreleased set of candids of Hilary holding a script for that from 3 months ago.
