Summary
- Nancy Meyers will write and direct a new untitled comedy for Warner Bros.
- The film is set for release on Christmas Day 2027 with a star-studded cast.
- The project was revived by Warner Bros. after budget disagreements with Netflix.
Nancy Meyers, celebrated for her unique brand of glossy, aspirational comedies, is returning to the director's chair. She will write and helm a new untitled comedy for Warner Bros., scheduled to hit theaters on Christmas Day 2027.
The highly anticipated project will feature a stellar ensemble cast, including Penélope Cruz, Kieran Culkin, Jude Law, Emma Mackey, and Owen Wilson. This film represents a resurrection of a project Meyers had previously set up at Netflix.
Negotiations with Netflix reportedly faltered when the film's budget reached $150 million, with the streamer unwilling to exceed $130 million. Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group heads Pam Abdy and Mike DeLuca successfully negotiated to bring Meyers' script to their studio, catering to audiences eager for her distinct storytelling.
Meyers, whose past films have grossed over $1 billion worldwide, has a notable filmography including "What Women Want" and "Something's Gotta Give." She also received an Oscar nomination for "Private Benjamin."
