Does Wanda Sykes Want to Do "All of Me"?
by Scott Weinberg | May 09, 2005
Discuss Article
Screenwriters Brent Goldberg & David Wagner ("The Girl Next Door") are preparing to dust off the great 1984 comedy "All of Me" for a remake treatment, courtesy of New Line Cinema.

The original movie, which starred Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, told the tale of a harried attorney who ends up with half his body possessed by the spirit of a dead (and rather obnoxious) woman. Variety indicates that New Line would like funny lady Wanda Sykes ("Monster-in-Law") to headline the remake, but she's waiting to see a script before she signs on the dotted line.

I won't even start bitching about this neverending trend of remaking each and every film that is a classic (or not) in horror, comedy, action-adventure... I just hope that other stars are wise enough as Ms Sykes and they all wait for a script before signing the dotted line !

I didn't really think the original was funny, but Wanda is HILARIOUS! I think she needs to come up with her own movie, NOT POOTY TANG, that she can start and be funny. The only thing is that she needs someone good to play off of and I can't think of any such person.
