Meg Ryan Heads Into The Beautiful

Meg Ryan’s acting career hasn’t exactly been firing on all thrusters recently, so it’s understandable that she might want to take a crack at some other creative outlet. Like many actors before her, she’s decided that she really wants to direct, and will make her debut with Into The Beautiful.

Not much is known about Cavedweller writer Anne Meredith’s latest script, except that it apparently focuses on a Big Chill-style reunion of old friends.

"I'm often drawn to pictures that make you laugh and cry," producer Wendy Finerman tells Variety. "I think this is the perfect project for Meg to bring to life. She's poignant and funny and heartfelt."

While Ryan will be behind the camera for the movie, there are apparently no plans for her to step in front of it – she and Finerman will start casting shortly, and the cameras will crank this September in New York state.

Ryan was last seen in comedy drama Serious Moonlight and is supposed to be starting work on Lives of the Saints with Kat Dennings, John Lithgow and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson this month.
