My Fair Lady is a 2010 American remake of the 1964 classic musical film of the same name about a Cockney flower girl's transformation into a high society lady. While it is referred to as an "update" [1] rather than an official remake, it still retains its 1912 setting. The film is intended to be shot on location in the original London settings of Covent Garden, Drury Lane, Tottenham Court Road, Wimpole Street and the Ascot racecourse, rather than the original 1964 Warner Bros. film which was filmed entirely on Hollywood soundstages. The filmmaker's aim in making this film is "to dramatize the emotional highs and lows of Doolittle as she undergoes the ultimate metamorphosis under the tutelage of Professor Henry Higgins." [2]
Digital Spy reported on March 4 2009 that [3]: "Danny Boyle is reportedly in talks with Sony Pictures to helm the Emma Thompson-scripted My Fair Lady remake. Keira Knightley was in negotiations last year to star as Eliza Doolittle in the new version, although the actress' involvement in the project has not been confirmed."
Synopsis[edit]
The snob Henry Higgins, professor of phonetics, accepts a bet to transform the uncultivated florist Eliza Doolittle into a worthy lady of the high society. He will win the bet it and they will discover their love. [4]
