Daughter of the Queen of Sheba is the next independent film Amy Adams will star with no director attached yet.

The script was penned by Karen Crone, which is based on the bio of NPR correspondent Jacki Lyden, centers on how a woman uses her mother’s irrational and unreasoning ideas to empower herself.

According to Variety, Lyden was NPR’s first correspondent on the air in the aftermath of 9/11 and went to Afghanistan for the radio pubcaster soon after the Taliban fell. She’s working on a book about the secret lives of a small group of Iraqi friends and reported on the slaying of her translator by an American soldier.
