According to legend, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, and Sandra Bullock are like the Coke and Pop Rocks of Hollywood—put them together, and the resulting surge of ladypower will be so explosive that it brings on a worldwide apocalypse. Dogs will meow! The entire western half of the continental U.S. will break off and fall into the ocean! Kanye will leave Twitter!
Well, be forewarned because Michael Patrick King—the writing, directing, and producing force behind "Sex and the City"—has it in his head to make a film starring all three of these grand dames of the entertainment industry, Deadline reports.
And they've agreed to do it! The end is near!
...Okay, but if by some chance it's not near, the combination of two Oscar-winning actresses and one epic poobah of all things media will make for one hell of a movie. The film is described as taking place in the world of a Home Shopping-esque television network—a setting that's certainly ripe for comedy. And from the sound of it, Michael has big plans to create an intelligent flick with well-developed female characters. You know, as opposed to the usual sappy, unoriginal schlock that's marketed to female audiences. ("Bride Wars," y'all. 'Nuff said.) Not only that, the concept for the film was developed with these particular ladies in mind and landed their approval and participation pre-writing.
And with Oprah's reputation for reading the fine print, that's saying something.
With such big stars attached and the script still in development, production on the Cinematic Summit of Kick-Ass Women (not the official name, but it should be) won't start until next summer at the earliest—but in the meantime, you can bet we'll be bringing you updates.
Will the nuclear combo of Sandy, Oprah and Meryl cause the world to end? Or will it just make for an awesome movie?
