"I've always wanted to control the weather," joked DeGeneres. "Nothing will stop me from doing this...neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet...I may be thinking of the postal service - but I'm really excited about the movie."
DeGeneres hasn't appeared in a live-action film since 1999's The Love Letter. She is also currently working on Warner Bros. animated feature Dog Show.
