Superstar Mother and Daughther

Are Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep going to star in a movie together and finally blow our minds?

It looks pretty likely.

The fan-favorite Academy Award winners are in negotiations to star in an adaptation of Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play August: Osage County. Producer John Wells (TV’s ER, TNT’s Southland) would direct the project next summer from a screenplay written by Letts herself.

The play focuses on the buried pains and present conflicts of a family after its patriarch dies. Streep would take the role of the drug-addicted matriarch, while Roberts would play the eldest daughter, whose estranged husband has had an affair with one of his students.

Awards-bait-y...uh...fun much?
