Looks like Reese Witherspoon will be singing again now that she has secured the rights to Peggy Lee’s life story after meeting with her granddaughter. She then approached Nora Ephron and got her to agree to write and direct.
I like how Reese is taking an active role in the films she makes. She belongs at the center of a story, not as a sidekick to someone like Vince Vaughn. I know that she wants a varied career but the problem with women and comedies, is that the comedies pretty much suck for the women.(You all know what I mean.)
If you remember, Witherspoon won an Oscar playing June Carter in Walk the Line.
Fox 2000 and Marc Platt will produce along with Witherspoon.
