Serial Andrew Lloyd Webber enabler Cameron Macintosh will co-produce a remake of My Fair Lady, starring Keira Knightley in the Julie Andrews role. Though the producers say they’ll keep the story set in 1912, they’re not only calling it an “update”, but they’re planning on shooting the musical in actual London locations.
F. Gary Gray has landed complete rights to the Marvin Gaye catalog, giving his Gaye biopic a theoretical leg-up on another Gaye biopic, one slated to star Jesse L. Martin, which Variety says will only “focus on the singer’s declining years, because the filmmakers have rights to use songs only from his post-Motown career.” Also, that film though “reportedly skedded to start last month in Europe, has not begun production.”
