Jennifer Jason Leigh News

Freestyle Digital Media (FDM) announced today that their existential comedy from writer/director Howard Goldberg (director of Sundance Festival favorite EDEN) JAKE SQUARED will debut on Netflix December 15, 2014.

THE HEIRESS, Ruth and Augustus Goetz's 1947 adaptation of Henry James' WASHINGTON SQUARE and currently occupying the Lohrey Stage at Theatre Memphis, has had a long and steady run on stages throughout the world - and why not? Tightly corseted, polite to a fault, and observing proprieties, this intelligently written script captures the essence of the James source material without the convoluted, complex sentences that, alas, repel many readers. As tautly drawn as the material on one of the samplers for which its heroine is noted, when one of the characters punctuates the prevailing politeness with a barbed or telling line of dialogue, it's as if a sharp and jagged blade suddenly ripped through the fabric of the needlework itself. All this play needs for a successful run is a handsome set, period costumes - and four or five gifted players.

The Wrap reports that despite earlier rumors Jennifer Lawrence might be taking on the lead female role of 'Daisy Domergue' in Quentin Tarantino's new Western THE HATEFUL EIGHT, it's another Jennifer -- Jennifer Jason Leigh -- who is in talks for the part.

Deadline writes that HBO is not moving forward with Ryan Murphy's drama pilot OPEN.
