Barbra Streisand has confirmed to the LA Times that she will indeed star in a new film version of GYPSY. The news leaked 'a little early, because the deal wasn't finished,' Streisand said.

The New York Times has gotten more information on the story, talking to both Arthur Laurents and to Stephen Sondheim who told them that Warner Brothers and Joel Silver are on board as producers, and that he'd (Laurents) suggested Tom Hanks for Herbie, an idea that he says Barbra Streisand loved. Laurents also says that Streisand is no longer going to direct the film, as she once wanted to but instead will just play the part.
Michael Riedel is reporting in the New York Post today that straight from the mouth of bookwriter Arthur Laurents is word that Barbra Streisand is 'deep in negotiations to direct, produce and star in a movie version of GYPSY' for which Laurents has given her approval. Laurents, who directed Streisand in her first Broadway show, I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE, and who wrote THE WAY WE WERE for her said that he's has long talks with her on the subject, and that 'She had a mother who she always thought was Mama Rose. I don't want to get into the details, but the point is she knows. She's got it in her. She's going to be much more than people expect.'
