VIDEO: Meryl Streep & More Talk New Film FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS

In a new interview with USA Today, Meryl Streep, Hugh Grand and Simon Helberg discuss the new film FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS. Watch the video!

Meryl Streep stars as American-born opera singer Florence Foster Jenkins in the upcoming film biopic of the same name. The opera diva was known for her having legions of fans, despite the fact that she was unable to hit a high note. Throughout her career, It remained unclear whether opera-goers showed up for her performances out of adoration for the singer or a strong desire to get a good laugh.

Hugh Grant portrays her partner and manager St Clair Bayfield, "an aristocratic English actor who was determined to protect Florence from the [hugh grant] truth that while THE VOICE she heard in her head was beautiful, to everyone else it was hilariously awful." Tony winner Nina Arianda, Simon Helberg, and Rebecca Ferguson also star.

Stephen Frears helms the project with a script by Nicholas Martin. Currently shooting in the U.K., the film is being produced by Michael Kuhn.
