The New Auntie

Tilda Swinton, the new Mame Dennis?

Well, it seems like that’s the plan.

The enigmatic Oscar winner reportedly is planning to reunite with her I Am Love director Luca Guadagnino to work on a remake of Auntie Mame.

Swinton would be stepping in the shoes of one Rosalind Russell, who memorably originated the character on stage before reprising it in the Oscar-nominated 1958 adaptation.

(The musical version of Auntie Mame hit Broadway in ’66 and starred Angela Lansbury. A film of the musical premiered eight years, with Lucille Ball in the title role. Got that?)

Fascinating choice, IMHO.
