Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver are set to star in 'Useful Idiots,' director Joseph Cedar's thriller for Fifth Season, Closer Media and Black Bear. ⁠ ⁠ Streep will play veteran New York property market journalist Diane Castle who, disillusioned with writing about the wealthy elite, probes a record-breaking sale of a new penthouse and the buyer’s identity for what could be the story of a lifetime.⁠ ⁠ “At its center is a mysterious oligarch, whose influence stretches across Manhattan and beyond – protected by a network of fixers, enablers, and a brilliant young strategist. Out of her depth, Diane digs deeper into the investigation, her determination to uncover the truth revealing a web of corruption and danger at the highest levels, ensnaring Diane, her family, and all those around her,” a synopsis from the producers reads.⁠ ⁠ More details at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ #MerylStreep #SigourneyWeaver #UsefulIdiots #Thriller
