British helmer Nick Hurran will make his American feature directorial debut with Revolution Studios' romantic comedy Little Black Book, starring Brittany Murphy. Production is slated to begin in the summer. Hurran most recently directed the U.K. feature Plots With a View, starring Brenda Blethyn, Alfred Molina, Christopher Walken and Naomi Watts. Miramax Films is poised to release the film later this year. Written by Elisa Bell, Book finds Murphy starring as an associate producer for a daytime talk show who opens up a Pandora Box's when she goes into her boyfriend's Palm Pilot to learn more about his ex-girlfriends and ends up learning much more about herself. Murphy signed on to the project earlier this month (HR 3/6). Revolution partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas is producing the project with producers William Sherak and Jason Shuman of Blue Star Pictures. Deborah Schindler and Rachael Horovitz are executive producing. Hurran, repped by ICM, has previously directed such British films as Virtual Sexuality, Girl's Night and Remember Me?...
