Emily Mortimer is to star opposite Ryan Gosling in Sidney Kimmel Entertainment's offbeat indie
Lars and the Real Girl, says Variety.
The story is about a lonely, delusional young man who buys a life-size sex doll on the Internet and falls in love with her, telling people it's his girlfriend. His brother and sister-in-law step in to help him with his delusion.
Director Craig Gillespie is set to helm the project, which is based on a script by Nancy Oliver.
