Just saw a blurb about Meryl Streep portraying "her greatness" in an upcoming film to be released sometime in '09 entitled Julie and Julia.

There was some buzz about the book a while back so a few of you may be familiar with it.

Here's a couple links to check out if you're interested:

I am just now reading the book, lost it several times.This is so exiciting, I want to watch with Ang

.

 
we could wait till it's at the Bear Tooth and then eat a great meal while watching and sipping wine.

 
Here's the blog that started it all...and one of my favorite comments on artichokes...

Though, sidebar on the artichokes here, this was only the second whole artichoke I've ever eaten in my life, and I couldn't help thinking when I ate it, mostly, "huh." And maybe giving a moment of respectful silence for the poor starving prehistoric bastard who first braved one. Artichokes -- the lobsters of the vegetable kingdom.

Is the film based on this, or "My Life in France" or both?? The latter is the book I am reading.

 
Nan, I don't know how they're fitting Julia into the movie, but it's based on the blog.

The Blog That Became The Book That Became The Movie.

Throughout the year, the blog entries refer to Julia and Julie Powell uses parts of Child's life as reference points. But when you've got Meryl Strepp and Nora Ephron involved, you're going to do more than reference.

I know that the original editor of "Mastering the Art of FC" visited Julie as this blog became phenonena. But reading between the lines it seems like Child always refused requests to meet Julie.

Maybe they're going to merge both the blog and the book??
