STX Entertainment is reportedly in "advanced negotiations" to make Gypsy starring Streisand with Oscar-winner Barry Levinson directing.
If everything is finalised, Streisand will produce the film alongside Joel Silver whilst Richard LaGravenese will write the script (naturally Streisand is involved in developing the script). Production could start this year.
Mama Rose has previously been played by the likes of Patti LuPone, Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters and, most recently, Imelda Staunton who won an Olivier Award for her performance earlier this month.
