According to Daniel Richtman, Kimberly Pierce will be directing and writing a remake of 1981 film noir “Body Heat,” via Warner Bros. Bad idea, if true. The original was a product of its time. Pierce has been one of the most disappointing filmmakers, especially since her shattering 1999 debut “Boy’s Don’t Cry.” It’s been a struggle for her ever since. She’s directed just two films in the last two and a half decades — 2008’s “Stop-Loss” and her 2013 remake of “Carrie.”
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
