The remake or updated The Women is currently in production
I just got this from a friend in the biz
The remake of The Women is currently filming in Massachusetts. This is the reported cast. As in the 1939 film, there are no men in the cast. While filming at the Boston library, all paintings and busts of men were taken down and replaced with women. Cast listing from imdb Annette Benning as Sylvia could be quite fun. Bette Midler as the Countess? Cloris Leachman as Lucy? I'm grateful that there will be no men, but, but, but.........let's now remake the Wizard of Oz. Oh, yeah, they did that already.

But why do a 1939 "period piece" with different actors in the same roles? What's the point of doing a remake of a movie unless something better is brought to the table? (oh yeah, money). The original has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it at the ripe old age of 16 (just ask Gemini Cricket and I, who sometimes have entire conversations in nothing but The Women quotes haha); I hate to see it screwed up like they did with that PBS stage play version. Especially when the original is SO PERFECT.
