Emma Stone will play a novice drug dealer in Little White Corvette. The actress has landed one of the lead roles in the forthcoming comedy, which sees a down-on-their-luck sister and brother travel to Miami to sell a bag of cocaine that their late father left in his car.

No other casting information has been released, and GK Films are currently looking for a director to work from Michael Diliberti's script.

Emma - who can be seen in Movie 43, The Amazing Spider-Man and Gangster Squad this year - has previously admitted she has always preferred comedy to drama because of the way she bonded with her father when she was younger: "I think I was drawn to comedy originally because when I was really young, by the time I was eight I had seen movies like The Jerk, Animal House and Planes, Trains and Automobiles with my dad, and I knew them by heart. I loved them and my dad loved them, and we would laugh together, and I would think, 'This is love.' I just wanted to make people feel like that."
