Heigl will star in "Escape" as Carolyn Jessop, who escapes a religious cult with her eight children after years in a forced polygamous marriage, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The film, an adaptation of Jessop's book, will be produced by Relevant Entertainment in cooperation with Heigl's own Abishag Productions, the trade paper reported.
