Taking It to the Streep—5:45 PM
If you're like me, you probably thought, "An EW cover profile on Meryl Streep? Good for her – I like her and all – but I probably don't need to read that." Well, you were wrong, friends!
Streep hopes her box office clout can pave the way for younger actresses. She's slated to shoot a movie directed by Nancy Meyers (Something's Gotta Give) in which she plays a woman being wooed by both her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) and a new beau (Steve Martin).
Even if it turns out this movie doesn't cure cancer or fight communism (and I'm not suggesting it won't), this may be the best movie ever! Having seen Steve and Alec spar on SNL and 30 Rock, I think we are in for some serious fun.
If you didn't love Something's Gotta Give, Meyers is also responsible (with ex-husband Charles Shyer) for the Steve Martin remake of Father of the Bride and the Lindsay Lohan remake of The Parent Trap (one of the few Lindsay Lohan movies that doesn't leave you pitying her). So I am ready to believe that this movie will cure cancer, or at the very least end our dependence on foreign oil.
