Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you're reading this, you're probably confused. Why the headline? In what possible world would Meryl Streep be in a role that should rightfully go to Dan Aykroyd? In this crazy insane upside down world, I tells ya'.

Meryl Streep will be playing Julia Child in a flick called JULIA & JULIA for Columbia, co-starring Amy Adams as a wannabe cook. Right now, Aykroyd is the definitive Child.

It's based on a book by Julia Powell about a temp secretary who decides to cook all 524 recipes from Child's book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."

Nora Ephron is writing the adaptation and directing.

Adams is gorgeous and Streep is great, but I'm telling you... this could use a big spoonful of Aykroyd!
