Meg Ryan to make directing debut
Meg Ryan, 49, will be making her feature directorial debut with the comedy/drama, "Into the Beautiful," The project, based on a script by Anne Meredith ("Bastard Out of Carolina"), is said to be a contemporary "Big Chill" about life-long friends reconnecting. The project was originally titled "Little Black Train."
Wendy Finerman ("Forrest Gump," "The Devil Wears Prada") and Nathalie Marciano have signed on to produce "Into the Beautiful." "I'm often drawn to pictures that make you laugh and cry," Finerman told Variety. "I think this is the perfect project for Meg to bring to life. She's poignant and funny and heartfelt."
It was reported in January that Ryan was dating musician John Mellencamp around the time that he filed for divorce from his third wife.
