Mike Nichols and Julia Roberts are making battle plans.
The Closer director is negotiating to direct Charlie Wilson’s War for Universal, with the former film's leading lady considering leaving the kids with the nanny to star.

Tom Hanks has already signed on to produce and star as Wilson and the script’s been written by a well-known name – West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin.
