Fame Again

Fame is to get a relatively low budget remake, due out next Summer. A director and writer are in place, but not yet announced - feel free to put your guesses in the comments below. I'm thinking Tommy O'Haver, though Jamie Babbit would be my second stab. Joel Schumacher's just too busy for this right now, I think.

Some songs will remain, and I dare say at least one new tune will feature. How the plot will be affected by the whole Pop Stars, American Idol, X-Factor business, I do not know, but they'd do well not to ignore it.
