3. From his Roger Corman-produced sexploitation debut, Caged Heat (1974) through Stop Making Sense (1984) and Silence of the Lambs (1991), director Jonathan Demme’s CV is nothing if not eclectic.
4. Streep’s daughter, Mamie Gummer is playing the, uh… daughter.
5. Written by Diablo Cody, so steel yourself for Streep getting totes emosh. Because YOLO.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Mutton dressed as glam.
