Remake The Ghost and Mrs Muir - Make good Capt Gregg


In 1990 there was serious at talk at 20th Century Fox of remaking "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" with Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer in the leads, but the poor box-office for The Russia House killed it.

Think Colin Firth would make a better Capt. Gregg. Don't see Michele Pfeiffer as Mrs Muir. Natalie Wood played daughter but in TV show and book there were two children. Remember the TV series saw that before the movie. Was pretty good for tv and could expand on story though they made it present day 60s. Carles Nelson Reilly was more memorable as ancestor. Never read the book have to find it somewhere. Would actually like another series rather than a movie remake along the lines of Masterpiece Theater. That would be fun. Cant think what actress I would have as Lucy though.

Yeap Firth for Capt Gregg. Dang that movie is still one of my favs. All the feels.
As for the actress, Weisz is good... For Firth.

When you're excited, you'll win.
