Meryl Streep to get romantic

Meryl Streep is in advanced negotiations to play the female lead in the untitled romantic comedy that Nancy Meyers will direct for Universal.
Meyers is producing with Scott Rudin. Production begins in February.

Streep will play the female in a romantic triangle with two men. Thesp, who’s currently starring in U’s “Mamma Mia!,” sparked to the script penned by Meyers.

The director, who made “Something’s Gotta Give” and “The Holiday” for Columbia Pictures, made the deal to bring her next picture to Universal earlier this year (Daily Variety, May 7).
