EMMA THOMPSON - THOMPSON TO PEN MY FAIR LADY REMAKE

THOMPSON TO PEN MY FAIR LADY REMAKE

British actress EMMA THOMPSON has been commissioned to pen a screenplay for a MY FAIR LADY remake.
The Howards End star won an Oscar for adapting Sense + Sensibility for the big screen and now she's tackling George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion musical.
But she admits the less-sweet version of the Audrey Hepburn movie musical won't be completed anytime soon.
She tells Parade magazine, "I'm a Luddite, and I write longhand with an old fountain pen."
That said, Thompson is the only person to have won Academy Awards for both acting and screenwriting.
