Tina Fey is currently one of the most hard working, powerful, and successful women in the entertainment business. After her last film, Date Night, alongside Steve Carrell, made around $150 million worldwide, it appears Fey has found her next project.
The film would star Fey and Streep as a mother and daughter while the film “spotlights the thorny and funny sides of mother-daughter relationships.” I don’t doubt that there’s humor to be mined from such relationships but perhaps I’m looking for something more in the vein of the absurdist “30 Rock” humor than a familial comedy-drama.
Stanley Tucci, who recently co-starred with Streep in THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and JULIE & JULIA, has signed on to direct the film for Sony Pictures, who just picked up the rights to the film. Steve Buscemi, yes that Steve Buscemi, is producing the film.
I love Fey’s work in SNL and 30 Rock. I’ve also enjoyed her in the movies she’s been involved; Mean Girls, Baby Mama and Date Night. Although the premise seem pretty simple, I’m sure we’ll have a good time watching Fey and Streep go at it onscreen. Looking forward to this combination, even if it’s for a couple of laughs.
What do you guys think? You like this combination? What would you like the comedy to touch on?
Also, is it just me, or Tina Fey somehow/sometimes seems hot to me. Am I alone on this? Hopefully not.
One of the things that Tina has going for her is she’s very attractive, but more in a girl-next-door kind of way… which allows her to play any number of parts.
Tina Fey IS actually very hot, you’re not alone.
