For a long time, Keira Knightley has been rumored to play Eliza Doolittle in a remake of the 1964 movie, My Fair Lady, which starred Audrey Hepburn. Recently, however, a new rumor surfaced, claiming Scarlett Johansson was also up for the role. I personally think Keira is better-suited for the role as far as looks and accents go. We know both ladies can sing. What do you think?

If you were re-making My Fair Lady, who’d be a better lead, Keira Knightley or Scarlett Johansson?

That’s the question co-producer Cameron Mackintosh is wrestling with, says The Telegraph, in England.

First of all, I have to ask why bother, the 1964 Audrey Hepburn version being widely regarded as just about perfect. Then I have to ask if Keira can sing. Then I have to ask if anybody would believe Johansson as a waif. Then I have to ask if she can do a British working-class voice. Then I have to ask again why bother.

Still, this does look like a thoroughbred production. Mackintosh knows how to make hits, the wonderful Emma Thompson is writing the script, the interesting Stephen Daldry is expected to direct, and Daniel Craig may play Henry Higgins.
