Barbara Streisand is getting back into the director’s chair for her first major project since 1996’s The Mirror Has Two Faces.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Streisand will direct a biopic of Catherine the Great, the longest-ruling female leader of Russia.

Catherine the Great came to power in 1762 when her husband, Peter III, was assassinated. She ruled until 1796.
