[Dark Donnie]

Director:
Nora Ephron

Starring:
Meryl Streep
Amy Adams
Stanley Tucci

Here’s the movie’s plotline via Wiki: Frustrated temp secretary Julie Powell (Amy Adams) embarks on a yearlong culinary quest to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She chronicles her trials and tribulations in a blog that catches on with the food crowd. The film also covers the years Julia Child and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) spent in Paris during the 1940s and ’50s, when Paul was a foreign diplomat who was eventually investigated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy for alleged communist ties.

Julie & Julia is currently filming and is slated to be released in 2009. The film is based on Julie Powell’s memoir Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Directing is Nora Ephron, whose film credits include Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail and Bewitched. Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24) also costar.

The Cast & crew are really pretty talented, but the subject matter isn't really my taste

It's very Nora Ephron but Streep as usual can do no wrong IMO.

I just watched the exclusive ET clip. Is it more or does the Julia Child's part of the film seem more interesting well set up than the 'romantic comedy' part of Julie's side of the film? It's like cutting two different films into one.

But Streep does have the acting chops to pull of Julia Childs. But I would have wanted to see a movie on her, not this other girl just trying to cook like Julia.

Nora Ephron just needs to go away. I'll never forgive her for Bewitched.

Meryl Streep looks exactly like Julia Child. That is pretty impressive. She sure knows how to pick some diverse and clever roles in films. I think this will be a very interesting story that will be revealed in this movie.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Correct, the title of the thread is wrong by a letter.
