Her most recent box office hit, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, sends us forward in time and Frances plays a mother who must abandoned her robot son. This time around, the aussie actress will follow time the opposite way, back to the 14th century.

'Timeline' is the story of graduate students who get trapped in 14th-century France when they try to rescue their professor. Ms. O'Connor's co-stars include Shane West and Gerard Butler. Production is scheduled for an April start. The movie is an adaptation from Michael Crichton's novel.
