I'm a movie!

So, I didn't think this was getting released yet, but the J&J movie trailer has been leaked here.  I'm a Nora Ephron movie!  This should be slipping into theaters next month.

UPDATE: Since people have asked - J&J: The Movie! is scheduled for an August 7 release.  I suppose that could change - I know very little about how these things work - but it won't change by much....

It's wonderful - Meryl looks amazing and beautiful, as always. I've been checking around daily for this trailer. My only qualm is Amy Adams saying "I was drowning and she pulled me out of the ocean."

I feel like it is a bastardization of my FAVORITE line in your book, when you are writing in your blog after Julia's death. Of course, you know the one I am talking about - the "I have no claim over the woman at all, unless it’s the claim those who have nearly drowned have over the person who pulled them out of the ocean" line. Perhaps it will still make its way into the movie... so excited, either way.

Congrats are of course in order. I loved your book and can hardly wait for the movie. But I do need clarification - when is the movie being released? IMBD says August 2009, and if you can believe it, a girlfriend of mine and I are acutally heading to NY for the debut. Has the date changed? Do tell. . .

I had heard about your blog and book for some time but didn't have a chance to read them until now.

And I just posted Ms. Ephron's Julie & Julia trailer on my blog [www.reserveresult.com] and loved it. Congratulation on all fronts.

I just read your book as I head towards 30, and it made me wish I had a life-changing project to embark on as my 29th year comes to an end. My husband is reading the book now - he is the major cook in our home. I can't wait for him to decide to do the same thing! I hope I can be as supportive and awesome as your husband if he does.

Anyway - thanks for the inspiration! Your openness and honesty and genuine telling of your freakouts made me feel like I wasn't the only one out there hearing that horrible clock ticking on so many of my dreams. Oh, and also, my new dream is to have Amy Adams play me in a movie, too!

Well, I live in the cultural wasteland known as southwestern Missouri (and only I can make fun of it cause I was born and bred here!!) and just happened to catch the trailer for the new movie, which was shown in between reamings by Chef Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen. I had never heard of the book or anything else, but when the trailer brought sappy tears to my eyes for reasons I don't even understand, I had to google Julie/Julia Project to see what it was all about and if there was a book I could read. I stumbled upon some blogs by you and loved your writing style. Is it still called a "writing style" if it's just who you are, how you talk, how you think? well anywho, I was really impressed, so needless to say, I will definitely be reading the book and seeing the movie. I don't know you but I'm happy for you!

OH MY GOD!!! I am SO excited I just saw the first PROMO commercial for the movie. I would give anything (that is if I had anything)to be at the PREMIER. CONGRATULATIONS I am boiling over with anticipation, I wonder if I can buy tickets months in advance can I? Can I just tell you how immensely pround I am of you, you really are my hero. YOU are amazing. By the way would you like to buy some Pampered Chef products from me? Just kidding THAT is a new endeavor of mine trying to make enough money to make ends meet. I really really love what you have done. I cannot wait for the next chapter in your life, that is your next book. Come quick August 7th, it will be the ONE thing I really have to look forward to this summer. Thank you for sharing with us.

I have been watching the trailer since someone posted it on youtube on 27th April and...

I would see Julie and Julia just for the grand experience of once more getting an opportunity to see, the greatest screen actress ever put on a Meryl Streep performance as only Meryl can do it; add a little Amy Adams, a pinch of Stanley Tucci with a dash of French Omelette and a deboned chicken on the side, and I'm ready to run stop signs on my way to the theater.

This is my first blog....

Tonight I went to a special screening of your movie. To say I am envious of what you have done is an understatement.

In 2001, we took my mother for her birthday to cooking school in Italy. One night the head chef announces that Julia Childs will be our "special dinner guest". I thought my mother,sisters and I were going to die. Julia Child.

Prior to eating dinner Julia made an annoucement to all of us (around 12 students)that I will never forget "she never eats everything on her plate". To this day I think this is one of the smartest things you can say before a dinner because, if you don't like the food, you can stop eating and not insult the chef...or if she loves it and continues eating, you feel like a hero!

I prepared the ravioli that night and much to my surprise, she raised her glass and in the middle of dinner made a toast to me and said "I understand you made the ravioli....they are one of the best I have ever had (and continued to eat it all)".....I thought life can't get much better! She made my day...

I am sorry you never got to meet her. It was a definite highlight in my life and it brings a warm smile to my face whenever I think about that trip and the way she made me feel. I have a picture of the two of us that sits on my desk between my two little children and my husband!


Bravo, I know the movie will be a huge success, you deserve it.

So I was in Duane Reade on 79th & 2nd Ave about 2 years ago and overheard a woman ask one of the salespeople where the "douche supply items" were located. The salesperson, God bless her, replied, "What's a douche?" To which the customer replied, "oh, nevermind". And she shuffled off I noticed it was Nora Ephron. I couldn't help but wonder if this scene would some day end up in one of her movies. Her tone is what killed me, her resigned, are you kidding me? response to the hapless employee.
I later stood next to her in line and rather than bring up the incident, I complimented her on her recent New Yorker article.

I am rereading your book again, for like the 10th time. When life seems a little bleak, my job seems even more depressing and I feel ready to give up on [insert current project/goal here], nothing sets me back on the path like reading a few chapters from J&J, making Oeufs Brouilles and peppering my speech with the F-word. … Julia is a goddess, but you… are equally inspiring!

I must thank you for being able to produce/ create this film with Meryl.. if i didnt become a fan of hers when i did.. i would of never heard of Julia Child & would never have had the opportunity to check out her fantastic recipies .. im hoping to use some of her recipes in my new job =]

I lived in New York when I was single in the 80's. I went to cooking school. I met Julia and Paul once, and jumped into a picture with them, which now hangs in my kitchen. Before all that, I was a journalism major. I am even a Democrat and from the South. And I've been cooking from MTAOFC since I was a kid. We have so much in common! The big difference? You did it. I just talked about it. You have my deepest respect and admiration. I'm having a dinner party on the opening night of your movie. We'll all bring dishes from MTAOFC. Then we'll go to the movie. I hope I don't cry. It's a comedy!

Woo-Hoo! I am THRILLED that your book is coming out as a movie starring MERYL STREEP!! Doesn't that just ROCK!

I also want to thank you for your book. I just finished reading it for the second time. I read it when it first came out and now I read it again for my book group. We'll be discussing it on Wednesday, and I'll prepare (of course) a lunch from the pages of MtAoFC -- from the few purely vegetarian dishes since several of my book group members are not meat eaters.

It IS all about JOY, isn't it? Thank you for using that "J" word. It does seem to make people strangely uncomfortable. Maybe it is something about getting at a Truth that seems so evasive.

I've been cooking since I was two years old. And, I thought that that would be my life's calling, but it turns out it is only a part of it.

I am focused on living joyfully and helping others to do the same -- and cooking and eating deliciously are definitely a part of that.

Could you possibly have imagined where you are now from where you were when you picked up MtAoFC in your mom's kitchen?? When we let ourselves live our lives, things have a way of turning out bigger and better than we dare to imagine.

Congratulations, mostly, Julie, for living with gusto and joy -- and flowerfully!

A fan, Katherine. ♥

Hi, Julie.

I'm reading your book, just on the last 20 pages or so and the ruminating on imprisoned roquefort got me thinking....
Are the kidneys or the liver imprisoned in the body? I think the roquefort and the pastry end up being as one, a system if you will, the way the organs in the body function as a unit. So does the pastry and its filling.
Love your book. I want to eat it and then go back for seconds.

Hi Julie, I came across your blog on salon back when I was working my way through MTAOFC (Vol's 1&2).

When I finally tasted homemade puff pastry (that I made myself!) I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Same with the poached eggs chapter, especially with 'a handful of spinach' added to the wite wine cheese sauce that's inncuously thrown in, served over canapes sauteed in clarified butter, and topped with hollandaise, all of which I had down to about 25 minutes or so of work.

Anyway!

I guess you've noticed by now that the trailer is up on the IMDB site:

Dear Julie,

God only knows if you will ever get around to reading MY comment or - dare I hope - responding to it.

I was a late comer to your particular oeuvre - it was the picture of Meryl Streep holding up the chicken, obviously Julia Child-ing it in the NYT summer movie section a few weeks ago that caught my attention, tickled my fancy and made me go buy your book that very day. I don't know where I had been.

The reason I am writing ( in addition to saying thank you, I loved it, it was great, etc) is that I had a particularly disturbing dream the other night. Earlier that day I had described the 3-day marinated lamb leg incident to my husband so it may have to do with that.. I dreamt I was in the meat section of a large grocery store. There were sit-down areas, sort of little booths like where visitors can talk via phone to their loved ones in prison, but these booths were all occupied by women who were being very possessive of meat they were purchasing.. The really disturbing thing that caught my attention in the dream was a woman who was wearing.. well.. a "Lamb Suit" made of a completely boned and skinned lamb. Creepy. But kind of fascinating.

The next day I read your bit about the boned duck.. and when you referred to it as a "duck suit" well.. I thought.. "whoa...."

I will add that I do tend to have weird dreams and I've had others about grocery stores and meat departments so its not THAT weird but still... I wanted to tell you - and I'm not a weirdo, just a person who grew up in NYC with a mom who loved Julia, watched the show, cooked the stuff, etc. And I loved the Smithsonian exhibit.

I bought myself a new copy of MtAoFC, thanks to you. The pork chops with tomato mustard sauce were a huge success, the game hens not as much.

Anyway.. thanks for enriching my life.

I cannot believe I missed your book until a friend sent me the YouTube link to the video for the upcoming movie. Of course, I sent it on to various friends of mine suggesting we get your book, read it, and then go to the movie. Happily, they all agreed!

One adventurous soul wants us to do as you did, try a recipe of Julia Child's and have a sort of buffet dinner after the movie. We'll have to see about that...

Congratulations on your book and a movie written by Nora Ephron AND with Meryl Streep in it!

I adore food writing, so I when I had the chance to see a sneak preview of "Julie and Julia" I was... skeptical. Would the movie be as irreverant as the writing?

The answer is YES! I LOVED it. My action/explosion loving husband did too. As a picky movie goer and eater, I don't say any of this lightly -- the movie was a lovely treat.

Who knew that Meryl Streep was that funny? Amy Adams was a doll. Paul and Julia's love story is something to behold, I had no idea how sweet it was. The movie overall was a wonderful ode to 30 somethings trying to make it, to Julia Child, to Paris, to New York.

Thank you for continuing to entertain and edify. You have made Julia, who I once thought to be a relic of my mom's generation, exciting and alive.

Congratulations to you. And to the rest of you, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

I purchased your book from Strand this past December before an eventful holiday visit back to Detroit. I began reading it during the drive back to Brooklyn and was laughing so loud and so often that my fiance began asking me to read it out loud. I finished it on the bus ride to D.C. for Obama's inauguration after we had already decided to visit Julia's kitchen at the Smithsonian. Tonight, I just botched a weight watchers chicken recipe and have ordered the fattiest pizza on the planet as a meal replacement. Guess I have a way to go in the cooking department. Bravo on the success and we cannot wait to see the movie.

I have discovered your book and LOVE you! I sent it to my cooking daughter in Portland who also loved it. I am now reading Julia's biography of her time in Paris with Paul and have opened up my 1964 copy of Mastering the Art. Thank you for opening this door in my life.

A friend of mine gave me your book for my birthday last April, and I just got around to reading it. I'm recommending it to everyone I know: I can't remember the last time I read a book and was laughing out loud! I am just about to retire from working at a California state university, and boy could I relate to your comments about your job (except at least here it's mostly Democrats -- except the evil administration!)

I haven't been in a movie theatre for three years, but I will definitely go and see Julie and Julia.

One thing I don't understand is why you felt obligated to cook every recipe in the book, and not just things you thought you'd like. I think you are amazingly brave. I took apart a crab ONCE and have bought only little containers of it ever since.

I think you should definitely write another book. Personally, I lean to Mediterranean cooking (olive oil instead of butter.)

I read this book a month ago after a stint in ICU and I LOVED it and actually went back and read the blog.

I think you are a wonderful writer and your story has actually inspired me to take on apassion I've been too scared to jump at, what could happen? I fuck up? Meh! So, thanks!

And the movie looks so great, congratulations!

My challenge, it was to write you.
French girl that I am in low bottom of the linguistic study, strictly speaking: Without precise faculties to speak English, I manage with the on-line translator. (Thank you google)

It is 11:45 am and having finished your book at 00:26 am exactly, I took the envy(urge) to write you, can be because it is totally stupid (yes, I collect the stupidities) because there is surement not enough luck so that: of one you read personally your e-mail(Forgive me if it is not the case)And secondly so that you answered you even your readers. (Once again please forgive me if it was mistaken there.)

I write since a quite small room, of a quite small house, in an any small part of France. And having a priori no future as ' writer (in my big despair) nor the same cooker (in the big despair of my mother),To say to you not thank you, it would be very too conventional, (and it is necessary to say that I am not all that it of more conventional there.) but to write you in simplicity of the words (or not..). To say to you that there is henceforth today a person furthermore having read your book. A person whom this novel pleased. A person who envies your talent (of writer !!)And a person which thanks to your example of tenacity, courage, and madness surement, (although I really have no model to be followed in this domain there, my small completely nutcase person should be enough for me.)Dashed simplistic challenge to contact you. It is made thing.
Cordially I.

Hi Julie, I left a comment in the original blog (first day of cooking) but then got a message that the notification email to you can't be sent, since your mailbox yada yada yada.

Since you've got the movie coming up (I've seen it) and will be receiving lots of comments, you might want to see that comments reach you - or are not possible anymore. I guess.

Best wishes,

Reading your book inspired me to start my own blog, www.carbonlesscopy.blogspot.com. Thank you so much! Loved it! Love the trailer! Meryl Streep is my favorite actress and I really like Amy Adams, too. Can't wait to see the movie. It looks like it will be funny and inspiring, but in a different way from the book. Everyone should read the book, too, because you'll feel like you're in Julie's apartment laughing with her over a gimlet. And like you can actually do something with your life!

BTW, do you know why I don't get emails when you post anymore?

Also, read eternalis's comment a few up from this one--it is quite funny as a result of her using on online translator (like Babel Fish), but also touching.

Yours certain did both, and well earned too. Thank you for bringing to life a wonderful story and reconnecting another generation with the genius of Julia Child.

Unbelievably, I got a ticket for two to see a screening of the film last night, July 9th, in St. Louis. Tried getting a foodie friend or two to go with me and rats, they were all committed to other events. My darling husband was happy to go along and we were NOT disappointed. Amy was an excellent verklempt Julie and of course, Meryl Steep nailed Julia down wonderfully - as always, her voice and expressions were spot on. I really loved the weaving of Julia's autobiography in with the project to flesh out Julia's life in France and her wonderful marriage with Paul. I am glad the "bug infestation" scene didn't make it in - that was even awful to read! On a deeper level, the parallel between the two women on a quest for creating meaning in their lives was a poignant undercurrent. See the movie. After looking forward to it for months and months, like one's grade school picnic, it did not disappoint. It's great fun, even though it won't answer any existential questions on the meaning of life. That's a journey far richer than butter and more butter. . .

I picked up your book at the store recently and am enjoying it tremedously! Just made baked eggs with curry sauce and toast for breakfast after having a few too many drinks last night. Thanks for that yummy tip!! Can't wait to see the movie and what you are up to next. Love your writing, so full of wit. I think we can all find a bit of ourselves floating around in your experiences.

New to your blog. Saw movie at St.Louis preview. Incredibly enjoyable. Even the men (who were making noises about having to go to a chick flick) said they had a good time. Only question everyone had after was did Julia really diss you or at 90 did she not really get the whole blog thing. Was there ever any direct communication between you two? As I said I am new to this site so this probably has been well covered already. Glad to be here as a newbie.

My mom, my brother, her friend and I all saw the Julie & Julia at a special showing in Sterling Heights, MI. All us absolutely loved the movie. My mom had read My Life in Paris so she was familiar with Julia Child's time in Paris. I remember seeing you on Martha Stewart show I believe when your book first came out; at least that's where I think I saw you. This movie was very funny. The kind of funny where laughing out load is appropriate. I think both Amy Adams and Meryl Streep did a fantastic job. I loved the scenes where Julie had a break down. I tell all of the patrons who regularly visit the movie theater I work at to definitely go see Julie & Julia. It is a definite must see movie. I just found your blog today. I was curious to see if you still were blogging and well I guess you are. Hope you enjoy the movie when you see it. Amy Adams did such a great job playing you. Nora Ephron did a wonderful job both writing the screenplay and directing.
