Only a ditz would think this movie idea is a good idea:
“She and her representatives have been touting around a project which is a remake of Casablanca. The reception has been lukewarm to say the least. No one can understand why she wants to redo what many people consider the greatest film of all time.”
In the 1942 original, Bergman starred opposite Humphrey Bogart, who played Rick Blaine, a cynical bar owner in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in the early days of the Second World War. Ilsa is torn between love for her husband, a Czech Resistance leader, and her ex-lover Rick.
Madonna is said to believe the film will make her reputation as an actress, after a string of high-profile flops such as Shanghai Surprise, Body Of Evidence and Swept Away, her much-derided 2002 collaboration with husband Guy Ritchie.
The source said: “Madonna is talking about taking the Ingrid Bergman role for herself, even though Bergman was in her 20s when she played Ilsa and Madonna is nearly 50.
“She wants to update the story and maybe set it in a modern war zone such as Iraq. There is no script yet.
“Madonna and her people are testing the waters to see if this is the right vehicle for her and if a major studio will get behind the project.”
Remake one of the greatest movies of all time AND set it in Iraq to appease the left-leaning hollywood types and to top it off, Madonna plays the Ingrid Bergman character.
Yeah….thats a winner.
Question..how many bars and gambling joints are in Baghdad exactly?

Dear,
I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
Korean special investigative team are investigating samsung
corporation.
But they do not work right.
I am suspicious to be bought off.
samsung corporation has many crimes.
And the team investigates samsung corporation.
It contains korean companies samsung,huyndai,sk CEOs’ illegal issuing
stocks or bonds.
The quantity are plenty.
(Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
Many koreans are knowing it.
But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.)
The team are knowing it.
Korean special investigative team must investigate this.
But they are trying to conceal it.
I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
country.
And help the shareholders and me.
P.S)
Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
it is not from me, but from three companies.
The things I dictated above are true.
If this film does get green-lighted, made, and sent to the multi-plexes; it will be Madonna’s Xanadu moment. She will be sentenced to the same obscurity that Olive Newton John lives in. I just hope no decent actor like Gene Kelly will be tarred also when this implodes.
Thinking further on the whole Xanadu fiasco and Madonna’s normal gig, she could make Casablanca the Musical. The horror.
As for Hollywood, how about making a movie based on the sole survivor of that SEAL team?
Instead of attempting a remake of Casablanca Madge should make the sequel penned by Michael Walsh named; “As time goes by” Mr.Walsh did a pretty good job on that book and it would make a fine film. With some name actors in it to carry her, it might break even.
Given that 1) Madonna movies don’t make money 2) remakes don’t make money 3) war movies about Iraq don’t make money…who in their right mind thinks this movie could make money?
I can hardly wait ’till Madonna re-makes “It’s a Wonderful Life”…
Well, you DID say ditz.
