Hyde Park to remake Blake Edwards’ ‘10′
From Variety:
Hyde Park Entertainment Group has secured rights from Blake Edwards to remake his 1979 comedy “10.”
Original pic starred Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews and a famously cornrowed Bo Derek.
Hyde Park chairman Ashok Amritraj and exec Patrick Aiello will produce with Lou Pitt; Blake Edwards and Geoffrey Edwards will exec produce.
After a long campaign to get Edwards to entrust them, the producers have already met with agencies to package the romantic comedy. They hope to engage in a global search for a newcomer to play the new “10.”
“Blake’s timeless original encapsulated the fallacy of ‘the grass is always greener’ in relationships,” said Amritraj.
