Variety reports that Columbia Pictures is remaking the classic musical My Fair Lady but plans to retain Alan Jay Lerner’s original score.

Variety reports that Keira Knightley is in talks to star as the flower girl turned lady, Eliza Doolittle, though the studio denied comment on casting.

The report goes on to say that unlike the 1964 film starring Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison (who played opposite Julie Andrews in the stage version), the remake will be filmed on site in London. Furthermore, the filmmakers intend to utilize more of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion than did Lerner’s original screenplay in order to further dramatize the emotional strain that Eliza Doolittle incurs in the transformative process of becoming an English lady.

Doug Belgrad, Columbia’s co-president said in the report that the “update will preserve the magic of the musical while fleshing out the characters and bringing 1912 London to life in an authentic and exciting way.�

According to Variety, Duncan Kenworthy (Love Actually, Notting Hill) and Sir Cameron Mackintosh are producing.

Variety reports that Leonardo DiCaprio will star in a Paramount Pictures biopic about Nolan Bushnell, the creator of the Atari video game system.

Reuters reports that Bushnell was an engineering student who went from fixing pinball machines to starting Atari Corp. in the early 1970s and selling millions of video games, such as the endlessly transfixing Pong.

According to the Variety report, the rights to Bushnell’s story have been a much-desired commodity but script writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman were eventually able to persuade Bushnell that they could do his story justice. The report says that Hecker most recently wrote and directed Bart Got a Room, which played at the Tribeca Film Festival.

DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company will produce the feature, which at the moment has no official production start date.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Tribeca Film Institute is partnering with Amazon to launch Reframe, an Online service that allows users or rights holders to digitize rare films and videos and rent or sell them on a nonexclusive basis.

The report continues to say that the service creates a free digital copy of video and an “at-cost� copy of film for content owners. The site will then offer purchasable and rental copies through Amazon’s DVD on Demand service (for physical copies) and Unbox (for downloads).  

The report goes on to say that the Tribeca Film Institute, which is a nonprofit organization, will take 50 percent of the profits from each digital rental and sale. Profit distribution for physical sales, however, operates on a tiered system where the rights holder receives a higher percentage of profit for higher priced titles. The more expensive titles, which can reach $200 to purchase, are aimed at the educational market but can also be rented by anyone for about four dollars and will be viewable for between 36 hours and 30 days.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the site currently has about 500 titles but will have approximately 1,500 in the next few months and 10,000 by the end of the year.
