In Honor Of Reese Witherspoon’s Wall Street Comedy ‘Opening Belle,’ 12 More Reese Witherspoon Movie Pitches

According to Variety, Reese Witherspoon is being eyed to star in an adaptation of the upcoming novel Opening Belle, Maureen Sherry Klinsky’s semi-autobiographical tale of trying to raise three kids while working as managing director of Bear Stearns during the dawn of the financial crisis in 2007.
