Double Oscar winner Emma Thompson is writing the script for the remake of My Fair Lady.
It's an update of the 1964 movie musical, based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, starring Audrey Hepburn who plays Cockney flower Eliza Doolittle. She becomes the project of Rex Harrison's Professor Henry Higgins, attempting to refine her and turn her into a socialite.
And Thompson will literally 'pen' the script as she doesn't use a computer: "I'm a Luddite, and I write longhand with an old fountain pen," she said.
Thompson won an Oscar for her Sense And Sensibility script in the '90s, in addition to an acting Oscar for Howard's End.
