Nancy Meyers is making a highly anticipated return to filmmaking after an 11-year hiatus. The acclaimed director, known for her iconic romantic comedies such as “The Parent Trap,” “What Women Want,” “Something’s Gotta Give,” and “The Holiday,” is set to deliver her next movie on Christmas Day 2027. While the title has not yet been officially announced, it is expected to be a version of “Paris Paramount,” a project Meyers previously aimed to create with Netflix.
The film will feature a star-studded cast including Penélope Cruz, Kieran Culkin, Jude Law, Emma Mackey, and Owen Wilson. Although details about the plot remain under wraps, Meyers provided a glimpse into its theme by referencing a quote from Ernst Lubitsch, the legendary director known for his influence on the romantic comedy genre. The film is described as exploring the process and magic of filmmaking through the lens of a group of people creating a movie.
Meyers has a rich history of collaboration with actress Diane Keaton, who passed away at the age of 79 last year. The two worked together on several successful films, starting with “Baby Boom” in 1987, followed by “Father of the Bride” and “Something’s Gotta Give,” the latter of which earned Keaton an Oscar nomination. In a heartfelt tribute, Meyers expressed her deep sense of loss, describing Keaton as a “giant” in the industry and a cherished friend.
This latest project marks an exciting chapter for Meyers, who has been a pivotal figure in romantic comedies and navigated the complexities of the film industry over the years. As she embarks on this journey, fans eagerly anticipate her unique storytelling and the charm that has become synonymous with her work.
