Nora Ephron has recovered from the debacle that was Bewitched and is planning to write and direct an adaptation of Julie Powell’s book Julie And Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Yes, she’s turning a cookbook into a movie.
Okay, so it’s a little more than that. Powell has chronicled how she broke out of her frustrating life as a temp by undertaking a yearlong question to make all the recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering The Art Of French Cooking. She blogged about her struggles and landed a book deal.
"Julia Child is such an important figure in my life, and also appealing was the chance to focus on the madness of blogging," Ephron told Variety.
