Currently in pre-production for a Fall 2004 start, "Prime" is an emotional love story set in New York about a 37-year-old career woman from the Upper East Side and what happens when a 23-year-old painter from Brooklyn falls in love with her. It is a story that looks at love from everyone's point of view and all of those who are affected when families and friends -- and in this case her therapist -- come apart when two people fall in love.
Sandra Bullock is one of America's best-loved actresses.

Two-time Academy Award(R) winner Meryl Streep is considered by many to be one of the greatest living actresses of our time.

She is next to be seen in the highly anticipated Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and Jonathan Demme's remake of "The Manchurian Candidate," opposite Denzel Washington.
