My Fair Lady REMAKE 2025!!!

Directed by Ari Aster

Starring Robert Downey Jr, Emma Stone, Michael B. Jordan, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Awkwafina, Damon Wayans Jr., and Sam Neill as Colonel Pickering

Sir Kelsey Grammer was set to play Pickering but dropped out for the new Frasier

Why remake movies that were good adaptations? Remake those that were bad adaptations.

R2 It is My Fair Lady for the new millennium. It will also be less white and more accurate to the racial insensitivities of the Edwardian Era.

The only casting worth anything is Sam Neill as Colonel Pickering, and even that is pushing it.

What role will Matt Damon be playing?

There will also be new songs

R5 I think this is the roll call:

Higgins- Robert Downey Jr.

Eliza- Emma Stone

Colonel Pickering- Sam Neill

Alfred Doolittle- Matt Damon

Mrs. Pierce- Tina Fey

Freddie- Michael B. Jordan

The Turkish guy at the ball is now a female Chinese role written for Awkwafina. She said she was excited to be in such a high caliber production.

Mrs. Higgin has not been cast, but there are rumors that Sean Young was in the studio,

I thought Sam Neill was dying?

[quote] I thought Sam Neill was dying?

In at least temporary remission.

This will be Sam Neill's final film before his graceful retirement.

What role should Matt Damon's ass play?

R13 It is a side character in the show stopper Get Me to the Church on Time

Will they give Julie a cameo?

[quote]What role should Matt Damon's ass play?

Dover's bloomin' arse, of course! 😂

So Aquafina is playing Eliza?

R17 No she is a Chinese princess see R7

I've a feeling you're just kidding, but to me it sounds believable. Makes a better opening than that car chase scene.

Will the rain in Spain still fall mainly on the plain?

Sounds like a fag film to me.

Will Eliza's speech impediment be a lisp?

CONFIRMED- Sean Young as Mrs. Higgins, Henry's mother.

A high caliber production!

You do know that Sam Neill is terminally ill with Cancer? He may not make it to work on this movie. I really like him too. I was sad to hear of his cancer.

R27 I guess he will be replaced by Kelsey Grammer then

Or maybe Sir Kenneth Branagh

Sir Kelsey Grammer, excuse me

Is this the one where I'm Harriet Tubman?

Due to scheduling conflicts, Emma Stone has dropped out of 2025’s eagerly anticipated My Fair Lady remake from director Ari Aster. Negotiations are under way with Jennifer Garner to take over the role. Garner has never received an Oscar nomination. Aster told us, “I wanted to be a director ever since I was a teenager and watched and re-watched Elektra and 13 Going On 30. How is it possible that the Academy hasn’t even bothered to nominate Garner yet? It astounds me. She is an acting legend. I will make sure My Fair Lady is structured as a global showcase for her impressive on-screen range and singing ability”.

I'm sure this remake will be every bit as successful as the West Side Story remake.

R33, I'm writing in English, but okay, here: Americans aren't "Sir."

La La Land proved conclusively that Emma Stone can't sing for shit, so now we want her in a role that taxed Julie Andrews? Plus she's a decade (at least) too old.

It's not as though the popular music world is short on guttersnipes you could cast.

[quote]a role that taxed Julie Andrews?

Don't you mean Audrey Hepburn?

Er, no, I mean the woman who made singing-Eliza famous, Julie Andrews. Who still found it quite tough, though of course she was doing seven or eight shows a week, not filming a movie.

Audrey Hepburn didn't have a prayer, but are you saying they're going to dub Emma? In that case, why not use someone young and pretty?

Why can't they get a British actress? It would seem like they could do that. Jennifer Garner would be a disaster.

Brie Larson will replace Emma Stone!

The rest of the stellar cast includes Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Sean Young, Damon Wayans Jr., Awkwafina, Michael B. Jordan, Tina Fey, and Sir Kelsey Grammer.

Ruth E. Carter for costumes

What a shit show. Hollywood is out of ideas.

Can't wrap my head around RDJ as Higgins.

Wasn't "West Side Story" bad enough? Will there be a special cameo just for Julie, as their was for Rita in WSS? Wait til Billy Porter finds out he's not in the cast! Or no Dylan Mulvaney as Eliza! Horrors...

Rachel Zegler as Eliza is the career resurrection she needs right now.

I cannit get "Ari Aster" and "My Fair Lady" together. It's like David Lynch remake of Mrs. Doubtfire.

Margot Robbie would be a good choice for Eliza.

Hmm, in todays time Higgins will be non-binary, Eliza will be a Latina Trans, Pickering will be Black.

Sam Neils' cancer is in remission.

Please stop repeating Daily Mail bullshit.

The stratified social classes in England were the core of the original, and if they get t oo cute with their casting, they are going to shit all over the premise of the story. Dumbasses.

[quote]Who's set for costumer?

I'm available!

But Robert Downey Jr is a great actor

The WSS remake was a masterpiece.

Obviously Patti LuPone will be reuniting with her Beau Is Afraid director to play Mrs. Higgins.

R44 How is it a shit show? No way.

The quote at r34 sounds like someone’s taking the piss. In fact this whole thread does.

R58, Patti was so perfectly cast in Beau is Afraid. I am deeply ambivalent about the film itself. Very indulgent and too fucking long.

Well Sean Young beat out Patti LuPone for Mrs. Higgins

But can Robert Downey, Jr. actually sing?

Jennifer Garner is 51 years old.

That's rather long in the tooth to be playing Eliza.

And does Jennifer sing?

Rex Harrison couldn't sing either

Gwenyth Paltrow could play Eliza.

Carey Mulligan was once considered for the role of Eliza, and John Madden was set to direct.

This is actually a real thing and not a bogus thread.

The article from R70 is from 2021.

This is going to be a classy, elegant, and sophisticated film

WEHT to Matthew Lopez and The Bodyguard remake?

[quote]Sam Neils' cancer is in remission. Please stop repeating Daily Mail bullshit.

It IS in remission, but his doctors have told him it will not stay that way. That's what he said himself on the episode of Australian Story. If he's lucky, new treatments will become available the longer he hangs on, but if they don't the medium-term prospects aren't good.

Well Sir Kelsey Grammer is Pickering now

Julie Andrews will be playing the Higgins, the Doolittles, the Eynsford-Hills, Colonel Pickering, and Mrs. Pearce.

There's no one around today who remotely approaches this level of talent. I don't know if it was pre-arranged, but here Julie appears to sing off the cuff while sitting in a chair for a Dick Cavett interview.

Matt Damon should NOT be in this movie.And Michael B. Jordan?? WTF?? Will MBJ play Freddie?

MBJ will be around to give Eliza throat exercises.

R82:

Higgins- Robert Downey Jr.

Eliza- Emma Stone

Colonel Pickering- Sir Kelsey Grammer

Alfred Doolittle- Matt Damon

Mrs. Pearce- Tina Fey

Freddie- Michael B. Jordan

The Turkish guy at the ball is now a female Chinese princess- Awkwafina.

R84, Tiffany Haddish might replace Emma Stone while she films the Cruella sequel.

You have got to be kidding.

[quote] The Turkish guy at the ball is now a female Chinese princess- Awkwafina.

Shouldn’t he be played by Theo James?

Thank goodness that this balderdash is just a lot of poppycock and twaddle.

I think Sir Kelsey Grammer might win an Oscar for portrayal as Colonel Pickering

At least Matt Damon plays a pig. Eliza's father was a pig. But he had a great production umber, in Get Me To The Church on Time.

Is Matt Damon shaped like a pig?

It could be worse. They could have chosen Natalie Portman for Eliza. that would have been a disaster.

R94 I don't think it could get any worse to be honest.

OP is a big fat lying whore fatty.

[quote] The Turkish guy at the ball

Do you mean Hungarian?

Jennifer Garner could get an overdue Oscar nomination as the lead Eliza.

[quote]Jennifer Garner is 51 years old.

She should be playing Mrs. Higgins!

Bullshit thread? None of these people can sing.

R101 Maybe, but they are the GREATEST talents of all time;

Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Matt Damon, Tina Fey, Michael B. Jordan, Awkwafina, AND Sir Kelsey Grammer!!!!!
