We’ve been eagerly anticipating the release of the brilliant Nancy MeyersThe Intern starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway (Sept 25.) The trailer, above, indicates that the movie is smart and funny – with DeNiro at his comic best. He’d barely finished that project when De Niro started filming the Bernie Madoff story called The Wizard of Lies” for HBO. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his wife Ruth and judging by the first on-set photo released, it looks quite fascinating. It’s gratifying that DeNiro is 72 and still working nonstop. If only women could have such long acting careers…

IT’S NOT COMPLICATED – “THE INTERN” LOOKS LIKE A SURE THING

Now HERE’S a movie we can sink our teeth into! “The Intern” with Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway reminds us a tiny bit of “The Devil Wears Prada” and we can’t wait to visit that world again! Deniro plays a 70ish widower who is hired by Anne Hathaway’s online fashion site in their Senior Intern Program. Anne plays the CEO he reports to. It looks to be an amusing culture clash – brilliant writer/director Nancy Meyers rarely disappoints. Meyers’ last movie was “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep.

CAN ANNE HATHAWAY HAVE HER CAKE AND EAT IT TOO? NOPE…

If Anne Hathaway is still wondering why so many people seem to hate her online, here’s a possible reason. Page Six revealed that while filming “The Intern” in New York with Robert DeNiro (photo above,) Anne was supposed to take a bite of chocolate cake for one scene. She’s fussy about what she eats and insisted on having gluten-free vegan cake for her scene. An assistant from the prop department was immediately dispatched to FIND suitable cake and rushed back to the set with it as soon as possible. If the story is accurate, it won’t do anything to improve Anne’s likeability.

We have NEVER seen a paparazzi photo of Robert Deniro shopping in a market so THIS was a surprise. But we soon learned this was a location shoot for the Nancy Meyers comedy “The Intern,” which sounds like it’ll be funny. Anne Hathaway plays the owner of an internet fashion business who learns that she is getting an intern. The intern turns out NOT to be a stylish college student, but an older man played by DeNiro. Surprisingly, the intern becomes a valuable assistant and the pair develop a friendly relationship.
