The romantic comedy popess will return at Christmas 2027

Twenty years after The Holiday, Nancy Myers is preparing a new film for the end of year holidays, around a very promising cast led again by Jude Law.

Prepare the blankets and light the wood stove: Nancy Meyers is back.

The director whose name has become synonymous with feel good and comforting romantic comedies, in which many stars come to relax, will finally make her return.

She will realize Paris Paramounta news rom’com which it has been developing for a while (for Netflix among others) and which will finally come to fruition at Warner Bros. She announces a release for Christmas 2027!

Nancy Meyers and the Christmas holidays, that will inevitably remind you The Holiday to fans of the genre. Especially since the casting will see Jude Law return as headliner. Without Cameron Diaz or Kate Winslet on the other hand. It is Penélope Cruz and Emma Mackey who will give him the answer. Kieran Culkin and Owen Wilson will also be there.

If the official synopsis remains secret, Variety confirms that it will be a new version of the Paris Paramounta project initially developed at Netflix in spring 2023. As Meyers explained on Instagram: “The film is about a group of people making a film, and the magic and mystery of what we do”.

Negotiations with Netflix collapsed when the budget ballooned to $150 million, with the streamer refusing to exceed $130 million. The economic logic of streaming differs from that of traditional studios: the stars receive their salary and upfront buyouts rather than box office related bonuses. Scarlett Johansson, initially attached to the project, jumped ship to shoot The Exorcist by Mike Flanagan at Universal. Michael Fassbender also left the project.

With this clarified budget, Pam Abdy and Mike DeLuca, at the head of Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, managed to revive Meyers’ script to delight audiences craving his charming stories. Since her debut, Nancy Meyers’ films have grossed over $1 billion worldwide, with titles like What women want, Anything can happen, The Holiday Or The Intern. She was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1981 for La Bidassethe film that revealed Goldie Hawn.
