Meryl Streep to star in a new Steven Soderbergh film written by Deborah Eisenberg!
Well this is a happy Hollywood mad lib: HBO Max has announced that Meryl Streep will star in Steven Soderbergh’s next project, Let Them All Talk, a lit-world cruise drama (please let this become a niche genre) written by the great Deborah Eisenberg. The movie, which will also star Candace Bergen, Dianne Wiest, Lucas Hedges, and Gemma Chan, is the “story of a celebrated author (Streep) who takes a journey with old friends to have some fun and heal old wounds. Her nephew (Hedges) comes along to wrangle the ladies and finds himself involved with a young literary agent (Chan).”
One can only assume there will be a part in there for Wallace Shawn.
