Hollywood heavyweights Ewan McGregor and Glenn Close are tipped to star in a $57 million new movie version of "Sunset Boulevard" reports Contact Music.
Close played the role of Norma Desmond in the award-winning Broadway run of the show in 1993 about a fading silent movie star - based on the 1950 Billy Wilder flick. An Xmas 2006 release is being targeted.
Meanwhile, John Pogue has sold a pitch for a remake of French horror pic "Malefique" to Paramount for producer Neal Moritz says Variety.
The story concerns an eclectic group of four inmates sharing one prison cell. When they find a book of occult spells, they try to use its shaky magic to escape, but things don't go as planned.
Thanks to 'Pogue'.
