Ellen DeGeneres has just signed on to play Mother Nature in a untitled new comedy set to start shooting this summer.

The plot will follow DeGeneres as Mother Nature returning to Earth for the first time since the planet was created.

The film will be penned by Sex and The City writer and producer Jenny Bicks and helmed by Walden Media (Chronicles of Narnia, Charlotte’s Web).

Production is set to take place in LA when DeGeneres has a break from her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
