Jones Offered A Piece Of The Rock

Felicity Jones is set to play the female lead in Ricky Gervais' 1970s insurance-world dramedy "The Men at the Pru" aka Cemetery Junction says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story revolves around three men in their 20s who work at an insurance company (Pru is short for Prudential).

Jones will play Julie, who is led to believe by the men around her that a woman should focus on raising a family but who wants to break out and pursue a career in photography.

Gervais is writing, directing and producing with Stephen Merchant-his Extras collaborator.

Jones made herself a hot commodity after Brideshead Revisited...

Filming kicks off this summer in the UK.
