Pictures: "Twilight" on the red carpet

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film will be directed by Jerusha Hess, who co-wrote "Napolean Dynamite," and will star Keri Russell, JJ Field and Bret McKenzie.

It will tell the story of a woman whose obsession with the "Pride and Prejudice" character Mr. Darcy is so extreme that it is hurting her love life. But after making her way to an Austen-themed English resort, she eventually falls for an actor playing Darcy.

Actors Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Seymour, Rupert Vansittart and James Callis round out the cast.

"Austenland," which will be Meyer's first non-authored project, will reportedly begin shooting in the U.K. this week.
