Guys And Dolls: Guy Ritchie Version Is (Surprise!) BS; Hugh Jackman Could Remake

But then Arrow told Variety what could be happening: a version with Hugh Jackman. More after the break.
Remaking Guys and Dolls, the story about Times Square gamblers and hoods originally staged on Broadway in 1950, then filmed with Brando, Jean Simmons and Frank Sinatra, is an idea that keeps coming up. In 2002 and 2003 there was word that Miramax and the Chicago producers might take it on, with Vin Diesel in the Brando role alongside Nicole Kidman in the female lead. That went nowhere (shocker!) but because the subject just won’t die we’ll inevitably see it happen sooner or later. That being the case, Jackman certainly seems like the best bet.
