It takes place in the hood or urban side of Chicago. A famed collage language professor makes a bet with the dean that he can turn the dean's neice from a nightclub stripper(in a Lil' Kim sort of way) into a glamous aspring starlet. But in the process he does fall in love with her. I was thinking these people.
Professor Jaimason Carl (the Henry Higgins)-Taye Diggs
Rita Perkins (the Eliza Doolittle)-Ashanti
Hugh Reginald Perkins (the Col. Pickering and Alfred Doolittle)-Samuel. L .Jackson

PRETTY WOMAN and EDUCATING RITA were both "mordern versions" of PYGMALION.
Why subject us to another?

Posted: 9/19/05 at 5:58pmEither way, it's a horrible idea. PYGMALION IS A MASTER PIECE. It was bad enough watching Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.

Posted: 9/19/05 at 6:13pmThere's something frightfully hysterical about reading that first post while realizing that Higgins is supposed to be all about language.

It was just their idea, don't bash it.

There is a version that was done "She's all that"
which is why I doubt they'll do it.

Some of you need to calm down. The poor guy just had a little idea he wanted a discussion on. No need to insult him.
The arrogance and rudeness of certain members of this board never fails to amaze me.
