A year after this idea was originally floated out into the ether, it seems that Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand have officially been offered roles in My Mother’s Curse . The Dan Fogelman-scripted film will be directed by The Proposal ‘s Anne Fletcher and casts Rogen and Streisand as mother and son on a road trip across the country. Last summer, Rogen called the film “one of the many projects [he] may or may not do in the next fifteen years,” so expect to see it sometime before 2024. [ The Playlist ]

According to actress and writer Mindy Kaling that is: “We set her return up in the finale, so it would be the biggest [cop-out] of all time if we didn’t [follow through] on it.” Not that this should come as a surprise — with Steve Carell making season six his victory lap, what better way to send Michael Scott into the sunset than with Ryan’s Holly Flax by his side?
