The Bounty Hunter director Andy Tennant has signed on to direct Katherine Heigl in the supernatural romance The Age of Adaline, for Lakeshore Entertainment and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, according to Variety.

Heigl has been attached to the project for several months. The Age of Adaline, penned by J. Mills Goodloe and Sal Paskowitz with revisions by Allison Burnett, centers on a beautiful woman -- mysteriously rendered ageless for the past 100 years -- who meets a man who finally may be worth risking her life to regain her mortality.

Production will begin early next year.
