Brie Larson is heading back to high school ... although this time there aren't any undercover cops (or stage productions of "Peter Pan," we're assuming).
The "21 Jump Street" star is getting a new locker as she's signed on for the teen dramedy, "The Spectacular Now," according to Deadline.
"The Spectacular Now" follows popular high school student Sutter Kelly (Miles Teller) as he suddenly becomes inspired to change the life of socially awkward Aimee (Shailene Woodley). No, it's not another adaptation of "Pygmalion"; this is based on a critically acclaimed contemporary novel by Tim Tharp.
Brie Larson will be playing the role of Cassidy, Sutter's "beautiful fat girlfriend" (as he describes her in the book) who kicks him to the curb, an act that prompts his existential adventure with Aimee.
Larson's been keeping busy ever since "21 Jump Street" let out for the summer. She's currently in pre-production on both "Squirrel to the Nuts," co-starring Owen Wilson and Olivia Wilde, and "Relanxious," co-starring Jason Sudeikis and, uh, Olivia Wilde.
"The Spectacular Now" will commence with production later this summer under the direction of James Ponsoldt, who called the shots on this year's Sundance hit, "Smashed."
