Uma Thurma gets to star in “Eloise in Paris,” an adaptation of the very witty children’s novel series. Thurman will play Nanny, caretaker of the precocious title character who was the central figure in the series written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hillary Knight.
Production will begin shooting in June in London, Paris and New York. What fun!

Charles Shyer will direct for Handmade Films, and he wrote the script with his daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer and Larry Spencer.

Thurman just finished working on “The Accidental Husband.”
Shyer is searching for a young actress to play the title character. Any ideas?
