First Day Of Work For 'The Intern'

Academy Award winners Robert De Niro ('Raging Bull," 'Silver Linings Playbook") and Anne Hathaway ('Les Misérables," 'The Devil Wears Prada") star together in Warner Bros. Pictures' 'The Intern," which began filming today in New York. Oscar-nominated and award-winning filmmaker Nancy Meyers ('It's Complicated," 'Something's Gotta Give," 'Private Benjamin") is directing the comedy from her own screenplay.

Meyers is also producing the film, together with Scott Rudin and Suzanne Farwell. Celia Costas is serving as executive producer.

The film's multi-generational cast also features Rene Russo ('Thor"), Andrew Rannells ('Girls"), Adam DeVine ('Pitch Perfect"), Nat Wolff ('The Fault in Our Stars"), Anders Holm ('Workaholics"), Linda Lavin ('Wanderlust"), Zack Pearlman ('The Inbetweeners"), Reid Scott ('Veep"), newcomer Jason Orley, and Christina Scherer ('Living with Uncle Charlie").

In 'The Intern," De Niro stars as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower who has discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Hathaway).

Meyers' behind-the-scenes creative team is headed by Oscar-nominated director of photography Stephen Goldblatt ('The Prince of Tides," 'The Help"), Oscar-nominated production designer Kristi Zea ('Revolutionary Road," 'GoodFellas," 'Tower Heist"), Oscar-nominated editor Bob Leighton ('A Few Good Men," 'Now You See Me") and costume designer Jacqueline Demeterio ('The Other Woman," 'The Big C").

'The Intern" is being filmed entirely in and around New York City, and is set to release in Australian cinemas beginning September 24, 2015.
