Meryl Streep Begins Filming 'The Papers' Alongside Director Steven Spielberg

Meryl Streep has kicked off filming on her new flick The Papers!

The 68-year-old actress was spotted on the movie’s set outside of the Plaza Hotel on Wednesday (July 19) in New York City.

She was also joined by the director Steven Spielberg as they filmed what appeared to be a protest scene.

Meryl could be seen getting out of a vintage taxi as people lined up with protest signs across the street.

The Papers, which was formally titled The Post, tells the true story of the Washington Post‘s role in exposing the Pentagon Papers in 1971.
