Miramax Films, who brought you musical Chicago, is negotiating for a Guys and Dolls remake that will be produced by Storyline Entertainment partners Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the duo that served as Chicago executive producers.
Variety says Zadan and Miramax confirmed that they were hoping to make a deal that would turn Guys and Dolls into their next musical collaboration, even as they look at other projects. Zadan said they aim to keep intact much of the rather large support team that made the first film. Agencies have begun to buzz about casting possibilities.
The story centers around Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established floating crap game in New York. He challenges fellow gambler Sky Masterson to a bet that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in love with him.
The music and lyrics were penned by composer Frank Loesser, and the 1955 film starred Frank Sinatra as Detroit, Marlon Brando as Masterson and Jean Simmons as love interest Sarah Brown. Classic tunes include "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat."
