The Women remake finally looks like it's a go

I think at some point in the last 10 years every actress in Hollywood wanted to be involved in this. This is who they ended up with:

"English's script maintains the arch spirit of the original, and the all-female cast, but the gals aren't as relentlessly catty this time around."

Then what's the point of remaking it at all?

I'm sure it will be as wonderful as "Bewitched" and "The Stepford Wives."

Well, at least with STEPFORD, they didn't have to compete with Cukor, Crawford and Adrian.

Annette Bening and Candy Bergen are the only two on that list that can act. If this is what they are offering, it should just be direct to video.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Bergen as the countess? I am assuming...

why mess with perfection?

Well this Crystal Allen is a friend of mine, she's really a terrible man trap, soak it please. She's behind the perfume counter at Blacks, so was I before I got fired... Uh, left

Sylvia Fowler: Our friend, Mrs. Stephen Haines, simply dotes on this... Her husband picked it out for her... Perhaps you waited on him?
Crystal Allen: I'm afraid I don't remember. You see, there are so many men who come in here.
Sylvia Fowler: Awfully good looking... I'm sure you wouldn't overlook him.
Crystal Allen: I'm sorry, but when one's mind is on one's own business...
Sylvia Fowler: Of course... And as you say, you have so many men.

Its partially up on IMD. Bergen is (rumored) to be playing the countess, Ryan is (in talks) Mary Haines, Lisa Kudrow is (rumored) Sylvia Fowler and Anne Hathaway is (rumored) for the role of Peggy Day? Who the hell is that?

Ah! Thanks - "Mrs John Day" in the credits. I was lost for a moment there.

I would just love Jennifer Coolidge to reprise her role from the revival a few years back. THAT would make this worth seeing.

If Meg Ryan is cast, I'll have to skip it. I'm unable to look directly at her anymore. I could see Kudrow as Sylvia, though.

Who is Annette Bening playing? Edith?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

They don't have her role established yet. Tell you what I am also getting a kick out of - Mick Jagger is one of the producers.

Clare Boothe Luce. There, I just thought someone should mention her. That article seems to imply it was Cukor that came up with all that "catty" dialog.

Most of the script was rewritten though for the screen, wasn't it? I seem to recall the screenplay by and large being funnier, sharper and more entertaining the the stage script.

Not that Clare Boothe Luce doesn't deserve credit for creating the play and the characters, but I've always thought the film version (which she had little actual hand in, I thought) was just miles better than the play.

Interesting... as I remember them being pretty close. But it's been years since I've seen the play... thankfully being staged here (Seattle) this season.

Well Kringas, I not sure what was Luce and what was Loose, but any loose gal is deserving of some credit!

PEACE.
