Julia Louis-Dreyfus to Star in Comedy Pic Beth and Don

According to Variety, Emmy-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has officially signed for one of the leading roles in a new comedy film titled Beth and Don, which hails from Academy Award nominee Nicole Holofcener (Can You Ever Forgive Me?). This project will reunite Louis-Dreyfus with Holofcener, after working together in 2013’s romantic dramedy pic Enough Said which also starred the late James Gandolfini. Production on the upcoming film is expected to begin in early spring 2022 in New York City.

“Nicole and Julia are masters of the modern human comedy — stories where we can see our own awkwardness and blind spots in every well-intentioned character. As with their last collaboration Enough Said, Beth and Don is a bright, bold tale of people trying to behave well, and failing hilariously at it,” producer Anthony Bregman said in a statement.

Beth and Don will be directed and written by Nicole Holofcener. It will be produced by Louis-Dreyfus along with Likely Story’s Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu. FilmNation Entertainment will be handling the film’s international sales at the upcoming American Film Market.

“Beth is a New York novelist in an unbelievably happy marriage to Don, who loves her and supports her in every way,” reads the synopsis. “One day, when Beth overhears him admitting that he hasn’t liked her writing in years, it threatens to undo all that’s good in their lives.”
