Is it time for yet another loverly remake? MY FAIR LADY in the works...
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The remake craziness keeps on going with a remake of MY FAIR LADY. Columbia is doing it with LOVE, ACTUALLY producer Duncan Kenworthy and Keira Knightley is in talks to portray Eliza Doolittle, made famous by Audrey Hepburn.
The producers promise to bring the original's music and score, but they also want to flesh out the characters a little more by going back to the original material by Alan Jay Lerner (who also adapted his own work with the '64 movie) as well as the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, which served as the basis for the story.
It might not be a popular opinion, but I kinda like Knightley for the role. Hepburn had something you can't replicate, but you could do a lot worse than Knightley for the part if they're bound and determined to remake it. Who'd be a good Rex Harrington? Thoughts?
