As movie pairings go, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci steal a march over most. Their marital interplay helped take our minds off all those boiling lobsters in** Julie & Julia**, while the pair's catty interplay gave The Devil Wears Prada its satirical teeth. Glad tidings then, as Mommy & Me looks like reuniting the duo - albeit in slightly different capacities - adding a side order of Tina Fey for good measure, according to the* LA Times*.
While Mommy & Me is at a very early stage of development - there's no script or even writers attached - the project has enough of the bada bing factor to file firmly under 'watch this space'. CAA are current touting the mum-and-daughter comedy/drama around Tinseltown with Sony, the studio behind Julie & Julia, looking like favourites to land it.
The ever-marvellous Tucci is attached to direct - his first directorial gig since 2007's Blind Date - although no word on whether he'll appear in front of the camera as well.
