Emma Roberts, last seen in the big screen film, Nancy Drew and Hollywood’s latest rising starlet, has just signed on to star in the live-action canine flick Hotel for Dogs. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is an adaptation of Lois Duncan’s popular novel.

The story follows two orphaned teenagers who start hiding a bunch of dogs in a rundown hotel and will be released in early 2009.

Auntie, Julia must be so proud!

Extra info: Her dad, Eric Roberts, is in one of my all-time favorite movies, The Pope of Greenwich Village. This movie is probably wayyyyyyy before your time for some of you, but worth watching!
