The Hollywood Reporter says that the "Party of Five" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" actress will play the titular role of the devil in "The Devil and Daniel Webster," which is said to be a contemporary retelling of the classic tale. The film also stars Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.
In the film, Hewitt's devil will go head to head with Hopkins' character in a battle for the soul of a writer played by Baldwin.
The project will begin production Jan. 15.
