This summer is all about film threequels, and a run of remakes looks set to follow. Naomi Watts is rumoured to be starring in an updated version of the Hitchcock classic The Birds. Gerard Butler, fresh from 300, has signed up to play the lead in Escape From New York, the futuristic thriller originally starring Kurt Russell, while Kate Beckinsale and Sienna Miller are two of the names being tipped to follow in Jane Fonda's footsteps as Barbarella. Nicole Kidman is to produce, and possibly star in, a new version of How to Marry a Millionaire, the 1953 Marilyn Monroe musical comedy. Perhaps before Kidman goes ahead, she might like to pay heed to Billy Wilder, director of Some Like It Hot: "[Monroe] was an absolute genius as a comedic actress, with an extraordinary sense for comedic dialogue. Nobody else is in that orbit; everyone else is earthbound by comparison."
