Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reuniting With Writer/Director Nicole Holofcener For Comedy Film BETH AND DON — GeekTyrant

Seinfeld, Veep, and The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia Louis-Dreyfus has signed on to reteam with Nicole Holofcener (Parks and Recreation, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, The Last Duel) for a new feature comedy titled Beth and Don. The pair previously teamed on the highly acclaimed 2013 romantic comedy Enough Said. Louis-Dreyfus will produce, as well as star in the picture, with Holofcener writing the script in addition to directing it.

Here’s the official logline:

“Beth is a New York novelist in an unbelievably happy marriage to Don, who loves her and supports her in every way. One day, when Beth overhears him admitting that he hasn’t liked her writing in years, it threatens to undo all that’s good in their lives.”

Likely Story’s Anthony Bregman will produce the film, and he said of the arrangement:

“Nicole and Julia are masters of the modern human comedy — stories where we can see our own awkwardness and blind spots in every well-intentioned character. As with their last collaboration ‘Enough Said,’ ‘Beth and Don’ is a bright, bold tale of people trying to behave well, and failing hilariously at it.”

This sounds like it’s going to be another great project for Louis-Dreyfus and Holofcener. I love their comedy style, and I can’t wait to check this out.
