Earlier today, we told you that Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, It’s Complicated) will direct a new film called The Chelsea.  Meyers must be busy, because word just surfaced that she’ll also direct another film, The Intern, with Tina Fey starring!

Paramount will distribute the film, and Scott Rudin will produce.  Rudin is the first producer in history to win an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and a Grammy.

The Intern will begin production in early 2013, after Fey finishes her commitments for another season of 30 Rock.

Deadline reports:

Fey will play the founder of an e-business with a fashion focus. As her company begins to thrive, she’s told that her company is importing seniors to be interns as a community outreach effort, and she’s getting one. While her first question is whether they are seniors in high school or college, she learns to her horror that she’s getting a real senior, as in senior citizen. The title character, an over-70 widower who is bored with retirement from a middle management career, initially seems like a fossil to his working mother boss, but grows more indispensable. While the boss and internship develop a platonic bond, Meyers tells me that to her this is a love story about the friendship they develop. She has an actor in mind for the title role, but wouldn’t say until he’s locked.

Meyers has a history of creating movies with a strong female lead, and this doesn’t seem to stray from her usual path!

What do you think of the synopsis? Will you see Fey in this role?
