Meryl Streep In Talks To Play Margaret Thatcher

Executives at Film4, the movie production arm of Great Britain’s Channel 4, are negotiating with Streep’s agents for her to star in a biopic of the “Iron Lady,” with shooting to begin late this year. Jim Broadbent would play Denis Thatcher, with Phyllida Lloyd (who worked with Streep on Mamma Mia!) directing.
