Gomez ("Wizards of Waverly Place") will play Beezus, the brilliant yet insecure older sister to King's ("The Suite Life of Zack and Cody") Ramona, who has a vivid imagination.
King's casting follows Fox 2000 Pictures' nationwide search for Ramona, during which the production division saw hundreds of girls -- with King finally nabbing the role after completing a screen test.
"Aquamarine" helmer Elizabeth Allen directs from a screenplay by Laurie Craig and Nick Pustay. Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan are producing. Di Novi has brought to the bigscreen such female-aimed projects as "Little Women," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and "Nights in Rodanthe."
Twentieth Century Fox will release the film March 19, 2010.
