CAN MEG RYAN BRING BACK THE ROM-COM?

Meg Ryan is officially back! After an 8 year hiatus from Hollywood, Meg is returning to the big screen this November with David Duchovny in What Happens Later, which she also co-wrote and directed. We’ve been told that’s only the beginning of Meg’s return to filming. Behind closed doors she’s plotting to return to the movies that made her one of America’s sweethearts. She’d like to revisit some of her classic characters from Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. Those rom-coms were the products of the late great Nora Ephron, so it’s a little complicated for Meg. She’ll have to secure the rights to those characters and develop scripts worthy of Nora’s signature style. Meg’s not giving up though, and her costars and pals, Tom Hanks and Billy Crystal, are open to revisiting those characters if the scripts are up to snuff.

MEG RYAN GETS SERIOUS

#megryan #janetcharlton

It’s been a long time since we last saw Meg Ryan, 50, wearing a dress and heels, but she was suitably attired for Nora Ephron’s star studded memorial service in New York. Meg was a principal speaker at the event since she starred in three of Nora’s best films: “When Sally Met Harry,” “You’ve Got Mail,” and “Sleepless in Seattle.” Before she died, Nora carefully planned her own memorial – who would speak, the music to be played (Frank Sinatra’s “I’ve Got the World on a String,”) and she wanted the ceremony to be no longer than 47 minutes. Meg is now happily living in New York with her daughter Daisy and son Jack and she’s seeing John Mellencamp. Her next movie “Lives of the Saints” will be released this year.

Broadway Lucky Guy Nora Ephron Tabloids Tom Hanks

TOM HANKS WILL MAKE A “SPLASH” ON BROADWAY

Tom Hanks hasn’t had a hit movie lately so he’s making the logical move to Broadway. He’s been waiting for the right property to come along and this seems like a good fit. The brilliant Nora Ephron, (who wrote Hanks’ hit “Sleepless in Seattle,”) has written a new play, “Lucky Guy,” about a New York tabloid reporter who flourished in the 80’s and 90’s, which is considered the end of the era of newspaper dominance. It’s based on the real story of NY crime reporter Mike McAlary, who had a noteworthy career and died young at 41. This will be Tom Hanks’ Broadway debut.
