Meryl Streep In A 1940's Remake

Movies
Meryl Streep is set to star with Warren Beatty and Richard Gere in a remake of the romantic classic 'Lydia,' reports Ananova.

The original 1941 film starred French actress Merle Oberon as a woman who retraces her past through her lost lovers.

Streep has told friends that 'Lydia,' adapted from the French movie 'Un Carnet De Bal,' is one of her favourite weepies.

An insider told Ananova: "To have her alongside Beatty and Gere is a dream ticket. They are very keen to work together.

"It's a wonderfully romantic story which, with an update, will capture the mood of today."
