Kristen Bell, the former star of TV series "Veronica Mars," will star in the Disney romantic comedy feature When in Rome, trade paper Daily Variety reports.

Bell made a name for herself as the resourceful high school detective "Veronica Mars" in the teen drama series of the same name, which aired on UPN and then the CW, from September of 2004 to May 2007.

Bell will play a love-starved New York curator who steals magical coins from a famous Roman fountain but soon finds herself in a bizarre situation when she is pursued back to New York by a band of aggressive suitors�the very people whose coins she took.

The studio is looking at a mid- to late-April start.

"Rome" marks a new genre for its director, Mark Steven Johnson, who is better known for such comic-book adaptations as Ghost Rider and Daredevil.

Bell next appears in the Judd Apatow-produced and written comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall for Universal, alongside Jason Segel. She will also appear in Fanboys, a Weinstein Co. comedy about a group of friends who share a love for the Star Wars phenomenon.

Kristen Bell joined the ensemble cast of "Heroes", including Hayden Panettiere, Milo Ventimiglia, Ali Larter and Greg Grunberg, for its second season on NBC, and portrays Elle Bishop.
