Meryl Streep and Tina Fey star in Mommy and Me
Meryl Streep and Tina Fey will play mother and daughter in ‘Mommy & Me,’ a comedy to be directed by perpetual Streep co-star Stanley Tucci.
CAA circulated the project around town earlier in July and signs pointed to Sony, which made last year’s Streep comedy “Julie & Julia,” as a strong contender.
Storylines are very hush hush, although it spotlights the thorny and funny sides of mother-daughter relationships.
Joby Harold wrote the treatment that went with the package and is exec-producing with Tucci, Steve Buscemi and Joshua Astrachan.
Streep and Tucci have worked together on-screen in “Devil Wears Prada” and “Julie & Julia.” No one is spilling if Tucci would appear in the movie or just stick to directing.
Fey, repped by WME and 3 Arts Entertainment, is slowly building her film resume, working on features during her time in between seasons of “30 Rock.” “Date Night,” the action comedy she filmed with Steve Carrell flopped in the spring, so hopefully having the star power behind this flick will fare better for her.
What do you think about the casting? After watching Streep play recent characters as the evil Miranda in “Devil Wears Prada” and being caught in a middle aged love triangle in “It’s Complicated”, it’s clear she can do comedy, but Tina cut her acting chops against the great Meryl Streep?
