Julie & Julia -- Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book.

The Great New Wonderful -- THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL weaves five stories against the backdrop of an anxious and uncertain post-9/11 New York City. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Edie Falco, Tony Shaloub, Stephen Colbert and Olympia Dukakis star in this lighthearted comedy about starting over.

Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is Julie Powell in writer-director Nora Ephron's adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Powell's Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme. Based on two true stories, Julie & Julia intertwines the lives of two women who, though separated by time and space, are both at loose ends...until they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible.

The stories of a celebrity baker, an immigrant security guard, a pair of anxious parents, a regretful senior citizen and more, set in the collective consciousness that was NYC in the days after 9/11.
