Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

All of Me

6/9/09 – SCI FI Wire reported that Queen Latifah, who is attached to a remake of the body-switching comedy film All of Me, said the project is caught between producers' notes and a studio shake-up. Adam Shankman was developing the script at New Line with his production company, Offspring Entertainment, when Warner Brothers took over New Line.  "I know a script came in," Latifah said. "You've really kind of got to talk to Adam Shankman, because they were taking point on that. A script came in that wasn't quite where it needed to be, so they sent it back with some notes to be worked on some more. Then the whole thing kind of went crazy with New Line, because it was a New Line project, so it sort of just went up in the air for a minute. I'm sure it'll land somewhere."  The original starred Steve Martin as a lawyer, half of whose body becomes possessed by the spirit of a woman (Lily Tomlin). Latifah's version would switch genders: She becomes possessed. She added that she had hoped Martin himself would play the Tomlin role.
