At the end of October, it was revealed that Meryl may be in the running for a supporting role in Adam McKay's Netflix project, Average Height, Average Build, a comedy about a serial killer who wants to change the laws so that it's easier for him to kill. There was very little info on what the role may have been nor whether or not Meryl was actually attached.
Yesterday, it was announced by multiple outlets that the project was scrapped by Netflix, following McKay's decision to move on to a different project about climate change. Meryl of course starred in McKay's satirical climate change allegorical film, Don't Look Up, two years ago (her last film project to date).
I'm not super bummed about this, considering it was likely going to be a smaller role and that we knew so little about it to begin with that I didn't get my heart set on seeing her in something specific. But my God at least is was something.
Still waiting.
I'm not devastated..
ReplyDeleteI just saw the news.“Sterling K.Brown Dishes on Meeting Meryl Streep and a Possible Collab in future”https://www.etonline.com/media/videos/sterling-k-brown-dishes-on-meeting-meryl-streep-and-a-possible-collab-in-the-future
ReplyDeleteI am thinking Streep may join this project with Sterling : Untitled Dan Fogelman/Sterling K. Brown/Hulu Project- Jamie
ReplyDeleteUgh, a thriller series about a head of security for a former president? She can do better. Way better.
DeleteWhen I saw her the other day, dressing like E. Rooselvet I had the feeling that is the project she wants and is perfect for her.
DeleteI have a big hunch
Eleanor has repeatedly shown up in recent years with Meryl; she voiced her for Ken Burns, played her satirically in The Prom and now the ceremonial performance. Would love to see it written and directed by Liz Hannah (The Post) or Aaron Sorkin!
DeleteLOL- it is one of his projects? And most already in post production
ReplyDeleteAnd then this article makes believe that some collaboration in happening but maybe yet not announced

Tilda Swinton announced today. Lots of speculation around Julianne Moore. No word on third. Would love for Meryl to work with Almovodar. They came close many years ago.
DeleteI remember Almovodar saying that the three actresses were three older women.I also read that the movie may “in the language of Shakespeare”, which would be a good fit for Meryl, who comes from stage productions.hope they can work together.
DeleteLooks like Julianne Moore is now listed on IMDB for The Room Next Door- Jamie
