The Columbia film is set for a Feb. 1 production start, with Keaton directing. This is the project written by Nora and Delia Ephron from Delia's semi-autobiographical novel - which, early on, Nora considered directing. She later decided to turn the task over to Keaton, reportedly feeling that the material was a little too personal to helm herself, and that she'd serve the project better as producer.

It's about a 15-minute ride, but on the bus, it took an hour - and it was the middle of a heat wave. I walked up to the studio gate and said, `Hi. I'm here to work on X-Files.' And the guard was like, `Sure you are, buddy.'
