Yesterday I broke the news that "Sunset Blvd." is getting remade as a musical. By Andrew Lloyd Webber, no less. Well, I've got more bad/weird news for fans of old movies.
Diane English, best known for her work writing on "Murphy Brown," is writing and directing a remake of George Cukor's 1939 classic "The Women." Candice Bergen, Anne Hathaway, Lisa Kudrow, and Meg Ryan are rumored to be in it. If I had to guess, Bergen would be in the Norma Shearer role, Anne Hathaway the Joan Fontaine role, Lisa Kudrow in the Roz Russell role, and Meg Ryan in the Joan Crawford role. This, though, is all just conjecture.

An interesting bit is that the ending is almost certainly going to be changed to keep in line with more modern conceptions of a woman's goals in life.
