Just wait 'til next year

Frank Miller's Blithe Spirit.

Just picture it:

Elvira, instead of being a ghost, is a whore.

Ruth, instead of being Charles's wife, is another whore. And then a ghost whore.

Charles is still a novelist, but all his books are about whores. Also, he narrates the film (which is in black and white, except for the women's lipstick and red dresses) in a faux-noir style.

Madame Arcati? Retired whore. Or possibly Samuel Jackson dressed as a Nazi. Maybe both.

Miller will do for Coward what he did for Eisner: Make him spin in his grave.

ETA: No, as far as I know, there are no plans for this movie. But honestly, I wouldn't put it past Hollywood. Or Miller.
