"The Intern": Robert De Niro & Reese Witherspoon in Nancy Meyers's film?
According to chatter on the street in Hollywood, Robert De Niro and Reese Witherspoon may share the main cast of Nancy Meyer's much expected new project, "The Intern".
Although they are still in the negotiation phase, Reese Witherspoon and Robert De Niro seem to be the perfect duo for this comedy. "The Intern" will be produced by Worldview Entertainment. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The plot of the film is quite straightforward, as with most of Meyers's comedies. Reese Witherspoon will play the role of a successful fashion entrepreneur who owns a popular fashion website. She will employ an intern, Robert De Niro, as part of a Senior Intern Programme that the website is organising. De Niro plays the part of a 70 year old widower who used to run a business.
It should be interesting to see the comedy situations that "The Intern" proposes as far as the clash between old school and new school management techniques go.With their experience in comedies, Robert De Niro and Reese Witherspoon are more than worthy of the roles. To boot, it will be the first time that these two immensely talented actors work together on a film. This alone makes this movie one of the most exciting projects in the comedy genre.
"The Intern" is still in its pre-production phase. A filming date has therefore not been set yet. However, with Nancy Meyers behind the camera, this film is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining comedies that will be produced. Meyers is the director behind romantic comedies "What Women Want," "The Holiday" and "It's Complicated."
