The cast of the film will include Meryl Streep, Gemma Chan, Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest, and Lucas Hedges. Streep will play a notable author who reconnects with old friends to “to have some fun and heal old wounds,” said HBO Max.
“This is the kind of project where you just say yes, please sign me up,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max. “To work with Steven Soderbergh and this all-star cast led by Meryl Streep is thrilling and sets the standard for features at HBO Max.”
The movie has already started filming and continued filming will take place on the Queen Mary 2 ship.
