I’m about a few months too late, but I can’t say I’m happy hearing the news about a remake of the 1964 musical My Fair Lady, being in the works. And that Keira Knightley is being considered to portray Eliza Doolittle.
I was less thrilled when I found out that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are fighting over the role of Henry Higgins – and Brad Pitt wants Angelina Jolie to play Eliza Doolittle.
It just doesn’t hold any appeal. Perhaps I’m being too quick to judge, but I can’t see Keira Knightley or Angelina Jolie surpassing Audrey Hepburn’s performance. I can’t even think of anyone who would be suitable to play Professor Henry Higgins. I sure as hell wouldn’t choose Clooney or Pitt. The film just seems too iconic and already perfect the way it is, that a remake would just probably ruin the story.
…Of course, that’s just my opinion.
Oh, look. This is my last post for the month of October. 
Perhaps you’d like some information on linear motion.
eh? parang hindi bagay kay angelina jolie yung role na eliza.
If I had to choose between Angelina Jolie and Keira Knightley for Eliza Dolittle, I think I’d go with Keira Knightley, if only because I think her features are more uh, whatever period My Fair Lady is set in than Angelina Jolie.
I know this is almost a month ago, but I just saw an article online somewhere about this and then saw on your sidebar the entry title. I hope they do not do it. Classic like “My Fair Lady” aren’t meant to be re-made. It would be like someone trying to remake “Gone With The Wind” or “Casablanca” :S Not a good idea.
If they do it, though, I think I would prefer Knightley over Jolie. And Brad and George for Henry? Ew. No. They need to find someone else.
