EXCLUSIVE: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and James Gandolfini are in negotiations to star in a new Nicole Holofcener film from Fox Searchlight. The project is still untitled, but what I do know is that Louis-Dreyfus, who just had her HBO series ‘Veep’ renewed for a second season, will play the lead, a masseuse who falls in love with the husband of a new friend. Gandolfini will play the husband. Holofcener, who helmed and wrote 2010’s Please Give, will direct. Anthony Bregman, who produced Please Give, is producing. Bregman is also producing Every Secret Thing, which Holofcener is writing. Louis-Dreyfus is repped by CAA and Hofflund Co. Gandolphi is repped by CAA and managers Sanders Armstrong Caserta. Holofcener is repped by UTA.

That would be amazing! i love everything what Julia does, she’s the best actress ever!
because hot women like JLD always fall for men who look like James Gandolfino.
She is great. But I’m still disappointed with Veep after two airings. Still don’t buy her in the role as it’s been designed. Seems more like she’s an underling hanging out with a posse. Needlessly pushes the edge and crassness over smart and clever material that could uniquely tap into this world. And still too manic.
Holofcener’s films are terrific. She should definitely be making films more often. Hopefully, there’s a part for her regular collaborator, Catherine Keener, in there somewhere.
Nicole Holofcener is a such talented filmmaker. So glad she is making another film! Love ALL of her movies!!!
Could there be a more awkward pairing? Julia is barely 5 feet tall and Gandolfini is a hulking man! I’m already getting a bad vibe. But mostly because there have never been two more beloved performers whose work has been so one-dimensional. Both play the same character in everything they do.
Has Nicole Holofcener ever had a shot at a larger studio film? Does she want that? I’m not suggesting that she transforms herself into Nancy Meyers or Nora Ephron, but Holofcener seems like a writer-director who is conventional enough to achieve crossover success.
I got to read the script and it is, like all her stuff, wonderful.
How did u get to read the script dave and do u know of any way i could find and read the script?
