Nancy Meyer’s big return to directing romantic comedies has stalled, with her upcoming film “Paris Paramount” no longer moving forward atNews that the project is being shelved comes following reports that A-listers Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Owen Wilson and Michael Fassbender were circling the lead roles in the film.
Netflix was backing the movie, which was announced in April 2022 and greenlit with a price tag well over $100 million, a source confirms to. . It’s not clear how much of the budget would’ve been devoted to designing an immaculate kitchen, a staple in theMeyers, the beloved director of “The Holiday,” “Parent Trap” and “Something’s Gotta Give,” was set to write, direct and produce the semi-autobiographical story about Hollywood exes who end up working together.
After winning a screenwriting Oscar for “Private Benjamin,” Meyers made her directorial debut with 1998’s “The Parent Trap,” starring two Lindsay Lohans. A proven box office draw, Meyers is the creative mind behind contemporary rom-com classics like “It’s Complicated” and “What Women Want.” Meyers hasn’t returned behind the camera since 2015’s heartfelt workplace dramedy “The Intern” with Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, which grossed $135 million globally on a $35 million budget. She did, however, produce 2017’s “Home Again,” which was written and directed by her daughter Hailie Meyers-Shyer.
Nancy Meters is quality- everything from the actors to the houses has to e very specific. If Netflix doesn’t want it- she should shop it- I’m sure there will be takers. We need romantic comedy escapism.
If you need $130 MILLION for a romcom...it's clearly a terrible script/movie overall. Good riddance.
If Meyers needs a tight wad producer I’m available.
No rom-com needs a budget over $65m
Netflix has horrible money management
Is she shopping as a 150,000,000 rom com At peacock
130M for a rom-com .......... to pay 4 salaries .........
Its very simple to cut the bedget from $130m to $60m. It’s a Rom-Com.
It’s too bad. There are two few serious movie makers creating quality rom coms. It’s usually all those sophomoric so-called films made by men.
Why Netflix, why? We all want another Nancy Meyers' film. They are evergreen.
The internet officially has too much influence on Hollywood
