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.
