Goldie Hawn must feel 1,000 years old! Yet another of her classic comedies is getting the remake treatment. First we have J. Lo in the remake of Overboard, which I am NOT on board for at all, then comes news of something with a little more potential: Anna Faris in Private Benjamin. This could be good. Firstshowing.net is reporting that Faris will take on the role originated by Hawn in the 1980s comedy about spoiled girl who joins the army after her husband croaks on their wedding night. Hawn and the screenplay were nominated for Oscars the first time around. Can they recreate that magic? Well, they are changing it up a bit, bringing it up to present time and involving the current war. There will be lots of caution not to poke fun at the military or politics, but it will be more of a fish-out-of-water type story. Why take out the political humor? Now is the perfect time to make fun of a senseless war. Not the soldiers, but the war for sure!!! Well, good luck, Anna and company. You have a lot to live up to. [image]
