Roberts, the niece of Julia Roberts, just completed the title role in the Andy Fleming-directed "Nancy Drew" for the studio and producer.
Roberts will play the title character, a debutante equestrian who falls for a cowboy. Circumstances lead her to enter the rodeo.
Project will possibly be the 15-year-old's next pic. She got her start on the Nickelodeon series "Unfabulous" and recently starred in "Aquamarine."
Script was the first sale for Wech, a writer's assistant on the Fox drama "Prison Break." She will rewrite and tailor the romantic comedy for Roberts.
"This is material kids haven't seen, a marriage between the elegant equestrian world and the rough rodeo, with all the conflicts," said Weintraub, who put the package together with prexy Rob Guralnick.
