Meryl Streep Gets Work! [Trade Roundup]

Meryl Streep Gets Work! [Trade Roundup]
· Meryl Streep is close to signing on to play the lead in Nancy Meyers's next comedy for Universal. Did we burn the Roxette-musical joke already? It seems we did. How about a subtle variation using Ace is Base songs instead? [Variety]
· "Newbie scribe" (not as fun to say as "Shia's pinkie") Jason Sullivan should give hope to all struggling, unproduced screenwriters with cars that don't exceed 45 mph: He sold his manchildren-go-to-camp movie to Columbia for six-figures. [THR]
· Ryan Seacrest has been named "permanent co-host" of ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Strokin' Eve. [THR]
· Vicky Cristina Barcelona star Rebecca Hall has joined the cast of Dorian Gray. [Variety]
· Due to scheduling conflicts, Quentin Tarantino was unable to secure Jesus or Charlie Chaplin for Inglorious Bastards. B.J. Novak and Eli Roth, however, were more readily available. So what are you waiting for, Brad? Commit, already! [THR]
