A big-budget film adaptation of ‘Little Women’ is set to star Emma Watson and Meryl Streep.

Fans of the 1994 movie version of Little Women, starring Winona Ryder and Christian Bale will be excited that Greta Gerwig has been announced as the film’s director, the woman behind the Oscar-nominated film Lady Bird. And, she’s trying to get some major star power on board.

Little Women, a coming-of-age book that takes place in Massachusetts during the Civil War, is loosely based on novelist Louisa May Alcott’s life and centers on four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, who are dealing with family issues, falling in love, and living in a new town.

The Little Women reboot has already announced Meryl Streep, and it’s thought that she will be portraying the sisters’ wealthy aunt, after one of the film’s producers revealed that she’s not joining the cast as the family’s matriarch, Marmee March. Which means there’s a very big possibility that Streep’s Big Little Lies co-star, the inimitable Laura Dern, will take on the famous role instead.

Emma Watson has replaced Emma Stone in the movie, according to Entertainment Weekly. And according to IMDb, Watson will play Meg March.
