Worst Previews is reporting that the upcoming remake of the 1964 classic My Fair Lady is still in the works, but 'hanging.' Despite recent confirmation from Sony execs that the project was still in play, reportedly with Carey Mulligan in the lead, Mulligan revealed at the Toronto Film Festival that 'I've definitely spoken about it, and I would love to do it if it happens, but it's just not happening right now...I read the script and the script is incredible. Emma Thompson wrote it. It's telling the story again, in another way and not trying to sort of copy anything and not trying to take away anything from that version of it. It's just telling it in a new era to a new generation of people.'

British actress Carey Mulligan is in negotiations to star in the action thriller Drive, according to The Hollywood Reporter. If cast, the Education star will join Ryan Gosling, who's already attached to the project. Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston is also said to be in negotiations to join the cast.
Emma Thompson, who is writing the screenplay for a new film version of MY FAIR LADY, told The Telegraph of Audrey Hepburn, star of the original film, 'I find Audrey Hepburn fantastically twee. Twee is whimsy without wit. It's mimsy-mumsy sweetness without any kind of bite. And that's not for me. She can't sing and she can't really act, I'm afraid. I'm sure she was a delightful woman - and perhaps if I had known her I would have enjoyed her acting more, but I don't and I didn't, so that's all there is to it, really.'
