29th March 2004: Napoleon and Betsy Update:
Al Pacino has been signed up to star in The Monster of Longwood
with Patrice Chereau signed up to direct. The script has been
written by Michael Tolkin, with a rewrite by Paul Auster and
produced by Patrice Chereau. The movie tells the story of Napoleon's
last days on St. Helena and his relationship with a girl. And
this is where things get complicated, just last week it was
announced that Scarlett Johanson was attached to star in Napoleon
and Betsy, which is the same story. Patrice Chereau has signed
up a legal team to try and stop the Napoleon and Betsy project
on the assertion that Rebecca Kennedy wrote a draft of his project,
Scarlett Johanson had did a reading of his project with Pacino
and to my mind this is the clincher Scarlett Johanson's mother
was attached as associate producer.
