What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?..remake! Vanessa Redgrave & Sigourney Weaver to star?

Since the news broke yesterday morning about a remake of the classic film -  “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane” - I was inclined to quiz Outfest guests attending screenings at the DGA about who they thought should play the roles made famous by legendary screen stars Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

Imagine that!

The people I polled were totally stumped!

“I don’t think there is anyone who could play those parts,” one man mused.

“Why remake it,” another wondered aloud.

Indeed!

For some inexplicable reason, Arthur Hill has signed up for the task to direct a script that he’ll adapt for the screen.

Last night, as I trotted home in high spirits – after chatting up guests in the DGA lounge over cocktails and a delicious mouth-watering plate of pasta, salad, and chocolate chip cookies – I rustled up a couple of candidates.

Sigourney Weaver? Glen Close? Vanessa Redgrave? Jane Fonda?

Gosh, maybe I should be a casting director, eh?
