Streep and Hoffman Have Doubt

Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman will star in Doubt, the adaptation of the John Patrick Shanley play for Miramax Films that begins production in New York on Dec. 1.

Variety says that Shanley wrote the script and will direct. Scott Rudin is producing.

“Doubt” won both the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, and is on tour.
