“The Cactus” is an adaptation of the best-selling novel by Sarah Haywood about a single 45-year-old civil servant, Susan Green. The lead character has lived a uniform and meticulously planned life until she realizes she is pregnant after meeting a businessman on a no-strings-attached dating website. This leads Green on a journey towards learning to embrace the unexpected with family and love.

Witherspoon will also be working on the film behind the camera as her production company, Hello Sunshine, is making both films. Witherspoon is a proud owner of her production company since the young age of 25 years-old and she is an inspirational figure for women in Hollywood.

The only thing left to decide is who will play the leading man lucky enough to grace the screen with America’s sweetheart.
