Yet Another Classic Ruined

 
Diane English of "Murphy Brown" fame has been working on a revised version of the classic  George Cukor film "The Women" for a while now. The remake has been in the works for around 10 years. Well, the cast is set and a shooting date has been sealed in concrete.
 
Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing and Candace Bergen will play roles made famous by Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell.
 
The story follows a group of female friends when the one they envied most discovers her husband's cheating on her. Diane's script is said to maintain most of the story elements, but the characters aren't nearly as catty and bitchy as they were in the original. WHAT?! That was the whole point! 
 
Meg Ryan and Debra Messing in a movie TOGETHER?! Kill me now.
