When Will They Announce Meryl?
According to Variety, “The Weinstein Co. has acquired worldwide film rights to the Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning play “August: Osage County” and will produce a feature adaptation. TWC co-chairman Harvey Weinstein will join Jean Doumanian and Steve Traxler as producers of the pic, with playwright Tracy Letts doing the adaptation.” (Still no announcement about a director.) The Variety article continues: “Weinstein and Doumanian have already received calls from reps of interested actresses who’ve seen the play.” I’ll bet they have!
