Just found this posted on the movie's page on IMDB.
Hopefully this means that this is finally gaining some steam. I'm very interested to see how this movie turns out as I love the play and the original film.

How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 1/17/07 at 12:26amThe poster is great - I'm not too optomistic about Diane English's remake though...

Posted: 1/17/07 at 11:50amI remember reading about this somewhere, Ashley Judd, Sandra Bullock, and Uma Thurman were all attached, right? What is the supposed cast list now?

I gather it'll be a modern day, "Sex in the City"-style remake?
Whoopie.

Initially this version was to be with Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Kirstey Alley, Olympia Dukakis and others.
Yes, THAT'S how long this has been going on.

Posted: 1/17/07 at 4:44pmI'm with Michael Bennett on this. Great poster, but I'm not looking forward to the movie. I love the play and the 1939 film, but I have a feeling this remake will be very much inferior
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

Posted: 1/17/07 at 5:13pmActed in the original in an amateur production. Never felt there was much there - and it will require a major re-write to make sense in 21st Century setting. But you never know...

Men cheating on women with younger/more attractive women? Divorce? Catty and bitchy women talking behind their "friends'" backs?
This does not require a major re-write.

Posted: 1/17/07 at 7:23pmThe scandal and heart break of divorce in the 30s and 40s certainly doesn't exist today in most of American society. It was then a mark of a failure in the one thing women "had" to succeed at - even if it was a man's "fault". It reminds me of "Brief Encounter" - one of my favorite movies of all time. When it was remade in the 1960's with (I think) Richard Burton and Sophia Loren (!?) it had no impact because extra marital sexual encounters were no longer "extraordinary". So the plot of THE WOMEN works - it is just hard to make it resonate much emotionally. It is just another reality show treatment.
