HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has signed a deal to produce and star in an untitled feature dubbed ``a 'Love Story' for the '90s.''

The project, set up at Columbia Pictures, was described as the story of a young woman who learns she has only a few months to live. As she begins living out her dreams, she falls in love.
|
Filming is expected to take place in May 1999 during Hewitt's next hiatus from the Fox network's ``Party of Five,'' in which she's a regular. Novelist Liz Nickels, who made the pitch, will write the script as well as a related book.

Hewitt's feature credits include Columbia's teen horror ``I Know What You Did Last Summer'' and its upcoming sequel.
