In honor of Nora Ephron’s movie, Julie and Julia which came out on August 7th, I have decided to put together a recipe to make the perfect movie. For the film, Ephron uses two real life stories, Julie Powell’s Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme, as her main ingredients. To use the film as an example, I have put together the perfect recipe for a hit movie: Ephron is a good director, she has A-list actors starring in the film (Meryl Streep, Amy Adams), she intertwines the lives of the two women for a good plot, the film has garnered good hype and publicity and the film had a big enough budget in order to make it worth watching. It may have the best food, but it does not necessarily have all the perfect ingredients for the perfect film.
Below, for all of our Screencrave readers, we have the recipe for a hit movie:

If there was ever a week where we had movies for all types of people, this would be it. From your action big shot movie (Stephen Sommers‘ G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) to your romantic satire (Nicholas Jasenovec‘s Paper Heart) to the suspense thriller (David Twohy’s A Perfect Getaway), you will find something for every mood. If you only saw one movie this weekend then it should be Nora Ephron‘s film Julie and Julia starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Ephron’s past hits alone, (Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally) should be reason enough but if you need another reason, you should look up Streep’s resume.
Here are the movies coming out on August 7th:

This weekend in theaters is Nora Ephron’s new film Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Stanely Tucci, and Chris Messina, in a film about two authors who were inspired by cooking. The film is full of light-hearted fun with an absolutely phenomenal cast that bring two true stories to life in a beautiful and unique way.
If I give one piece of advise it’s to not go into this film hungry, you won’t be able to make it through.

We’ve found some early reviews of the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, and collected a some of the highlights that suggest that this is “perfect for a girl’s night out.” Not long ago ScreenCrave saw some clips of the film at ShoWest and stated, “it’s nice to see three great actors working together. The film looks like a lot of fun. Streep (of course) looks amazing in the film as does her supporting cast.”
Debbie Puente from the Examiner got to enjoy a preview of the film and her review hints that even though the story combines two lives that are about a half century apart, it’s a well thought out, easy to watch success.

Recently at a press junket for Post-Grad, one of the highlights of the day was the fabulous Jane Lynch who happens to be one of my favorite comedians. She was kind enough to fill us in on some of her upcoming roles in Simon Pegg and Nick Frost‘s film Paul which is currently shooting and her role in Julie & Julia as none other than Meryl Streep‘s sister.

Firstshowing.net has just put up the a new exclusive poster for the Meryl Streep and Amy Adams‘ cooking comedy, Julie and Julia. The film was written and directed by Nora Ephron (Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally) and is a combination of two books, Julia Child’s “My Life in France” and Julie Powell’s “Julie & Julia” all mixed into one.
We posted a brief first look of the film after seeing about a 5 minute clip of the film at ShoWest. The film looks very charming, from the acting to the plot. Sadly, we still don’t have the trailer for you, but hopefully we’ll have one soon!
Below is the new simple and clean poster for the film. Check it out…

Out of all the presentations I think this one probably has been the most impressive. They just screened some never before seen clips and trailers for District 9 (trailer coming in a couple of weeks!), The Ugly Truth, Angels and Demons, Julie and Julia, Year One, and The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. Every single one looks amazing for what it is.
Check out news on the clips below…
