Nicole Kidman got the remake fever again. After toplining disappointing reworkings of The Stepford Wives and Bewitched and being part of the marathon shoot of Invasion, a loose remake of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers finally due for release later this year, she's now eyeing the role of one Marilyn Monroe in How To Marry A Millionaire.
The original 1953 film starred Monroe, Lauren Bacall and that other one with the legs...oh, Betty Grable, as three young women in search of wealthy husbands. Though Kidman will take the Monroe role it's said that the script, being written by Sacha Gervaisi (The Terminal), will significantly rework the story and bring it forward to the modern day.
We really see Kidman in the Bacall role – she's more regal than ditzy and bubbly – but we're not Hollywood casting directors, so what do we know.
