Michelle Pfeiffer has signed on to play a penniless Manhattan socialite who talks to her dead husband (who's really just a cat) in the comedy "French Exit."

Not quite the "Catwoman" solo film we were looking for, but we'll take it.

She'll play a woman who decides to cashes in the last of her possessions and live out her last years anonymously in a modest apartment in Paris. She's accompanied by her directionless son (Tracy Letts.

The Sisters Brothers"). It's based on his international bestselling book of the same name that was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. (So, it's not going to be another "Nine Lives," we sincerely hope.)

Pfeiffer most recently costarred in "Ant-Man and the Wasp" and "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil." The three-time Oscar nominee received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for HBO's "The Wizard of Lies."

Hedges received an Oscar nomination for his role in "Boy Erased." His other films include "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "Lady Bird.”

Letts is a Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner whose films include "The Post," "Lady Bird," and Jacobs' last film "Carrie Coon.
