Nancy Meyers' big-budget rom-com dead at Netflix - Entertainment Weekly News

The star-studded romantic comedy that was intended to be Meyers' first feature-length directing project in almost a decade is no longer moving forward at the streaming service, EW has confirmed.

Even the latter figure would have put it among the most expensive rom-coms ever made.

News of the film's implosion comes on the heels of reports that Scarlett Johansson, Owen Wilson, Penelope Cruz, and Michael Fassbender were in talks to star.

A representative for Meyers didn't immediately respond to request for comment Tuesday evening.

Originally announced last April, Meyers' movie is said to be a semi-autobiographical tale about two filmmakers who fall in and out of love while working together and once again cross paths in Hollywood.

Meyers' previous credits include The Holiday, The Parent Trap, Something's Gotta Give, and The Intern.
