MUMBAI: Veteran Barbra Streisand is ready to get back to direction with a film called Skinny and Cat. This will be her first film in 16 years.
The 70-year-old actress has tapped Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett as the lead couple in the upcoming film that is about the love story between late author Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke White.
Skinny and Cat, which is expected to roll in January 2013, will mark Streisand‘s first directing stint since 1996‘s The Mirror Has Two Faces.
Besides preparing for Skinny and Cat, Streisand is keeping herself busy with some other projects. She has been attached to the big screen take on Broadway musical Gypsy to be written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes. She will also appear in The Guilt Trip alongside Seth Rogen.
