Jane Fonda 
LOS ANGELES - Movilegend Jane Fonda will return to the screen cast
as a grandmother in a black comedy also featuring teen star Lindsay
Lohan and "Desperate Housewives" actress Felicity Huffmane ,
reports said Thursday.
The 68-year-old Oscar-winner, who made her acting comeback in last
year's comedy "Monster-in-law" following a 15-year break, will play
the lead in director Garry Marshall's comedy "Georgia Rule", the
industry press said.
The movie will focus on a rebellious young woman, played by Lohan,
who is sent by her dysfunctional mother -- Huffman -- to spend a
summer with her grandmother, played by "Klute" and "Barbarella"
star Fonda.
Fonda co-starred with Jennifer Lopez in "Monster-in-law" in which
she played a jealous and overbearing mother of Lopez's
fiance.
"This is Garry Marshall's kind of movie," said James Robinson, who
runs Morgan Creek, the production company making the movie that
will be distributed by Universal Pictures and is scheduled to begin
production in August.
"He can deliver the mail with this type of movie," Robinson told
the Hollywood Reporter.
Huffman, 43, is best known for her role in the hit television
series "Desperate Housewives", but she was nominated for a best
actress Oscar this year for her role as a transsexual in
"Transamerica".
Lohan, 19, is a hot young property in Hollywood following her roles
in such hits as the Disney car movie "Herbie Fully Loaded" (2005),
"Mean Girls" (2004) and 2003's "Freaky Friday".
Veteran movie director Marshall has been responsible for such hits
as "Pretty Woman," (1990) with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere,
"Runaway Bride" (1999), also starring Roberts, 1988's "Beaches"
starring Bette Midler and 2001's "The Princess Diaries".
