"Mother of George" director Andrew Dosunmu will helm the project, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Darci Picoult has written the screenplay.
The story revolves around the life of a sensitive woman (Pfeiffer), who struggles to find footing in a fast-paced world.
But, when her mother dies, she faces a crisis in which she
works to find a means for survival, all the while hiding her struggles from her new lover (Sutherland).
The shooting is scheduled to begin from November first week in New York.
