Meryl Streep And Hugh Grant Go With "Flo"

Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant are attached to star in "Florence," a biopic about Florence Foster Jenkins says Deadline.

 Jenkins (Streep) was a New York heiress and socialite who wanted a career as a great opera singer, but  lacked any real ability - in fact her voice was pretty terrible. The film will cover Jenkins life up until her 1944 Carnegie Hall concert which sold 3,000 tickets, she then died a month later

Grant will play her partner and manager St. Clair Bayfield. Bayfield was an aristocratic English actor determined to protect Florence from the truth.

Nicholas Martin penned the script from which Stephen Frears will direct

Michael Kuhn and Tracey Seaward will produce the movie.
