Barbra Streisand hasn't directed a movie since "The Mirror Has Two Faces" 16 years ago, but the 70-year-old actress has announced that she plans to direct "Skinny and Cat," a script she'd originally written 25 years ago.
The movie will tell the story of photographer Margaret Bourke-Whiteand and author Erskine Caldwell.
But there's a catch -- Streisand can't get started until she collects enough money for the independently financed film. Her hope is to collect $20 million and begin shooting in January 2013 with already-signed leads Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett, reports Time.
Streisand had originally planned to star in the film herself opposite Robert Redford, but was derailed when Farrah Fawcett put her own spin on Bourke-Whiteand's story to TV.

Barbra Streisand last jumped behind a camera for the Oscar-nominated drama The Mirror Has Two Faces, in which she starred alongside Jeff Bridges and Lauren Bacall. Having been over a decade-and-a-half since that film has hit theaters, the near-egot winner (her Tony was honorary, slacker) is now prepping her next directorial effort and she’s lined up quite a cast.
Showbiz411 reports that Streisand has signed on to direct Skinny and Cat with Oscar winners Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett on board to star. The independent film, written by producer Linda Yellen will follow writer Erskine Caldwell (famous for his novel Tobacco Road) and his epic romance between photojournalist Margaret Bourke White, famous for her war pictures.
It’s rare to get such a perfect pair of actors for such a project, so Streisand is already one step up. The pop culture icon will also be seen alongside Seth Rogen...

Barbra Streisand is still mulling a big-screen take on Gypsy, but in the meantime, Showbiz 411 reports that she's settled on her first foray into directing in sixteen years: Skinny and Cat, a romantic drama about writer Erskine Caldwell and photojournalist Margaret Bourke White, which will star Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett. Once upon a time, Streisand herself hoped to star in the story opposite Robert Redford, so let's hope Firth and CaBla make acceptable substitutes.

Most of the non-music career news about Barbra Streisand in the past little while has been about her taking a role in the brewing big screen remake of "Gypsy" set to be penned by "Downton Abbey" writer Julian Fellowes, but it looks like Babs has a little trick up her sleeve, and something that will come first.
Showbiz 411 reports that she's set to return behind the camera for the first time in sixteen years, on the oddly named "Skinny And Cat" starring Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett. Described as "an epic love story," the film penned by Linda Yellen (not much notable on her IMDb page, though she seems to love Brit royalty weddings) will tell the true story of the romance between writer Erskine Caldwell and photojournalist Margaret Bourke White. The duo collaborated on three books, the seminal "You Have Seen Their Faces" about the South during the Great Depression,...
