James L. Brooks has cast Reese Witherspoon in his sixth directorial effort, a Sony project with three main characters tentatively titled “How Do You Know?”

Shooting is set to start in March on the project, Brooks’ first as a writer-director since “Spanglish.”

No logline yet, but all of Brooks' prior movies have been romantic comedy-dramas.

Brooks’ previous directorial efforts were “Terms of Endearment,” “Broadcast News,” “I’ll Do Anything” and “As Good As It Gets.”

He also co-created "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and scripted the hilarious Burt Reynolds vehicle "Starting Over."
