With her character and comedic skills, she should be able to do a great job. Wed Aug 30 03:30:37 -0700 2006 16797 bogie 1 1842248 I'll go watch it. Sounds like a good idea.

Wed Aug 30 19:51:35 -0700 2006 1843213 10784 Scrapironchef 1 1843986 Will it be a Julia Child move or a play on the book Julie and Julia? Wed Aug 30 20:39:49 -0700 2006 1842240 17165 lvtotry 2 1845531 I think it's about Julia Child, which Julie & Julia is not really, though I enjoyed it. Didn't they finally release an autobiography of Julia C recently? Of her time when she was first married to Paul in France? Thu Aug 31 14:32:17 -0700 2006 1843986 18154 prunefeet 3 1845891 My Life in France, IIRC, written with her nephew. I enjoyed it a lot. Paperback probably out soon. Thu Aug 31 16:30:01 -0700 2006 1845531 10400 Aromatherapy 1 1845554 Interesting casting. Reichl wants Rachel Weisz to play her. I think that would be better casting than Julia, but we shall have to wait and see.

The writer wrote that two films are being made and today I found out what he meant. Meryl Streep will be in one movie and Joan Cusack will be in another. Sounds like it is going to be another Truman Capote type deal. 2 movies in 1 year about the same person. Fri Nov 02 06:50:59 -0700 2007 1842240 139655 KarenMac
