LOS ANGELES: Film-maker Nancy Meyers will return to the director's chair with an upcoming movie for streaming service Netflix. The filmmaker, known for giving hit rom-coms 'The Parent Trap', 'The Holiday', 'Something's Gotta Give' and 'Father of the Bride', will write, direct and produce the feature film, Netflix said in a press release.
