Meryl Streep is going to star in "Julie/Julia," the feature based on Julie Powell's memoir "Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen."
That means Streep will get to attempt the ultimate accent.
(YouTube won't let me embed, but it's worth clicking to hear her introduce the six chickens and declare, "We're roasting Miss Roaster on today's French Chef!")
Variety's Tatiana Siegel has the story. Amy Adams, who got a supporting actress Oscar nomination last year for "Junebug," is in talks to play Julie. Nora Ephron is adapting the screenplay and will direct, which I would usually consider bad news ("Bewitched," "Lucky Numbers," "Mixed Nuts" -- "Sleepless in Seattle" was nearly 15 years ago) but Ephron was a foodie before just about everyone except Julia Child.
Oh my God. I just gasped out loud-- perfect!!

Meryl Streep dans le film "MUSIC OF REGRET" de Laurie Simmons au festival HORS PISTES, les 29 et 30 mars 2008 au centre pompidou.

Peuplée des personnages familiers de l’univers de Laurie Simmons, poupées ventriloques, marionnettes anthropomorphes, objets quotidiens à l’échelle démesurée, The Music of Regret est une comédie musicale en trois actes, qui assume totalement les codes du genre et revendique sa fantaisie et sa gaieté. Inspiré par le travail de l’artiste Ardis Vinklers, ce premier film de Laurie Simmons élargit sa pratique photographique à la performance. Elle s’est entourée pour l’occasion de musiciens, de marionnettistes professionnels, de danseurs de la compagnie Alvin Ailey, du cinéaste Ed Lachman et surtout de la comédienne Meryl Streep. En poupée rendue à la vie, elle inscrit cette romance musicale dans la tradition du glamour des shows de Broadway.
