Mumbai: Cameron Crowe, who made his last film We Bought a Zoo for 20th Century Fox, has settled on his next film - a yet-to-be titled romantic drama that will star Emma Stone.

Representatives of Crowe have confirmed that Sony has picked up the project based on the director's original script. The film would be produced by Scott Rudin with Crowe hoping to go on the floors this fall.

Crowe's family entry We Bought a Zoo, that released last Christmas grossed $120 million worldwide.

Stone (The Help) is no stranger to Sony; she stars in the studio's latest The Amazing Spider-Man. She'll next be seen in theatres in January in The Gangster Squad.

The hunt is now on for the leading man.
