I don’t think this will come out well…no one can replace Audrey Hepburn. The only people who can pull off Eliza ( I think anyway ) are Audrey Hepburn or perhaps Julie Andrews, they are the only people with the right acting skill. Too bad Julie is too old now =( I think Julie could do the role of Eliza wonderfully. I miss Julie’s singing she was so good. Well I’ll see if they can make it work.

Anthony Stewart Head would make a much better Prof. Higgins. I’d like to see him in a major role. He has a wonderful singing voice and he’s great at being a pompous ass. And Kiera Knightly cannot hold a candle to Audrey Hepburn. I don’t know of an actress who could possibly replace her. She is too much of an icon. However if Emma Thompson is writing the screen play at least the script will turn out well. After all she did a wonderful job with Sense and Sensibility.

I doubt if the remake could cast the same magic as the original movie did.Anyway it would be fascinating to see Keira Knightley acting “a good girl”

Listen to Jeremy Northam singing and tell me who the “next” Higgins should be http://www.imeem.com/khit/music/x0QBwieh/christopher_northam_jeremy_northam_and_her_mother_came_too/

I think Robin Teichert should play the role of Eliza. She would be almost perfect

It has to be Jeremy Northam. At 47 I think he is the perfect age. He has an amazing singing voice and the gravitas to pull this role off – more so than any other actor around! In fact as much as I’m actually not a fan of remaking this – with Northam in the Higgins role and Emma Thompson writing it I think it would have a lot going for it!! Without him sadly I think it would sink like a stone!

I think Kiera knightley is too much of an obvious choice, and her singing would hardley be to scratch. However, I think Daniel Day Lewis would be magnificent.

I’m not real familiar with Colin Firth, but whether he can sing is beside the point. Prof. Higgins’ musical numbers are sing-talked, and mostly talked. Any Higgins actor has only to be able to maintain the rhythm of the lyrics and throw in bits and pieces of the actual tunes here and there. Personally, I’m rather partial to Liam Neeson as Higgins. Neeson is about the right age and presents a physical image similar to that of Rex Harrison. I own the 1964 film and am very curious as to what the current folks would do with this story. And while I’m at it here, I didn’t know Miss Knightley could sing. What kind of voice does she have?

I watched My Fair Lady this past weekend with Rex Harrison as Prof. Higgins. There is no way Daniel Day-Lewis would fit this role. He is not attractive enough to play Higgins. There would be no chemistry between him and Knightley. I think Colin Firth would be ideal to play Higgins. He can sing and has a wonderful dry wit. I started a petition to send to the producers saying us as fans prefer Colin Firth in this role. I currently have 83 signatures. If you would like to sign it here is the link:
