Following the announcement, the filmmaker took to Instagram Stories to share her reaction. "News to me," she wrote, adding a thinking face emoji. "Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw." Meyers didn't elaborate further. Representatives for Apple TV+ have not yet responded to the 75-year-old's comments. The Holiday follows Iris (Kate Winslet), a London-based columnist, and Amanda (Cameron Diaz), a movie trailer editor in Los Angeles. the pair initiates a house swap to escape their complicated personal lives during the Christmas season. The film also featured Jude Law and Jack Black as the leading men, Graham and Miles.
