It's another achievement on top of the 26-year-old actress' stellar year, with an Oscar win for her performance in Room and scoring the leading role in Marvel Universe's hotly anticipated first-female led superhero film, Captain Marvel.
Larson is to star and produce Unicorn Store alongside David Bernad and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer as well as Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis and Terry Dougas' company Rhea Films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Samantha McIntyre, the story follows a woman called Kit, who "receives a mysterious invitation to a store that will test her ideas of what it really means to grow up".
The screenplay was one of 12 selected for the 2010 January Screenwriters Lab at the Sundance Institute, a program which has supported award-winning films including Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry.
Larson has been filming Kong: Skull Island on the Gold Coast and is also set to take on the lead role in Captain Marvel.
