Amazon Studios have hired "Toy Story 4" screenwriter Stephany Folsom to pen the script for "This Is Jane".
Michelle Williams has been attached as the lead, Jenny, in the underground abortion network drama.
The film, a true story of a Chicago woman Jenny (Williams) who founded and ran the underground abortion service Jane, will be directed by Kimberly Peirce.
According to Variety, the drama is based on Laura Kaplans non-fiction book "The Story of Jane: The Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service".
The group was run by a group of women who taught themselves to perform abortions in the years before Roe vs Wade case made it legal.
From 1968-73, they helped over 11,000 women by providing safe services denied by the medical establishment. They also provided health education and counselling.
Williams will co-produce with John Lesher and Peter Heller.
