Holy crap. Is this, then, the Mother of All Celebrity Sex Tapes? Quite possibly.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nicole Kidman will be producing and starring in the remake of the Marilyn Monroe classic “How to Marry a Millionaire”, but with a contemporary rehaul of the original story. Speaking of which, the 1953 original concerned three women in New York who set out to find eligible millionaires to marry, but find true love with non-millionaire men instead. The script for the remake will be written by Sacha Gervasi, who penned Steven Spielberg’s “The Terminal” starring Tom Hanks. Nicole Kidman, meanwhile, is busy in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann’s historical epic “Australia” with Hugh Jackman.
