VARIETY

Hyde Park Entertainment Group has secured rights from Blake Edwards to remake his 1979 comedy "10." Original pic starred Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews and a famously cornrowed Bo Derek. Hyde Park chairman Ashok Amritraj and exec Patrick Aiello will produce with Lou Pitt; Blake Edwards and Geoffrey Edwards will exec produce.
After a long campaign to get Edwards to entrust them, the producers have already met with agencies to package the romantic comedy. They hope to engage in a global search for a newcomer to play the new "10."
"Blake's timeless original encapsulated the fallacy of 'the grass is always greener' in relationships," said Amritraj.
Hyde Park's in post on the Capcom vidgame adaptation "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," which will be released Feb. 27 through its co-production deal with 20th Century Fox. Hyde Park also just wrapped romantic comedy "The Other End of the Line," which MGM will release in November. Hyde Park Intl. is selling international on those titles.

Interesting, remember watching the movie, but had to go and look it up, sometimes I just don't remember everything in movies that I have seen. Dudley Moore was 44 when he made that, and if they remake it in 2014 Vincent will be 55, not that it matters. Wonder who the next Bo Derrick will be? She sure was gorgeous with her corn rows in that movie, still is a pretty woman.
Nantz, do you do most of the updates on Vincent's Wikipedia page? Wondered how that was done, do you have to have authorization, to update? Don't know how that is done.
I've done several of the updates, Rose. It's a public site with contributions from people like you and me. You sign up and once you have your Username and password, you're good to go. The references have to be reliable and verifiable. Whatever someone contributes to the page can be edited by someone else. A couple of my edits have been re-edited by others and mainly for grammar and clarification. My grammar is not the best so I appreciate the corrections. I like the fact that there is freedom to contribute and be a part of a group of people anywhere in the world that can do the same.
Thank-you for explaining, I use Wikipedia all the time, and never knew how all the info got there. Guess that I have been taking advantage, without thinking about how the info was obtained. Great that you update his page, and also like the idea of how people can contribute.
You're so welcome, Rose, although there are negatives about Wikipedia too. The information can be untrue as one sees fit...so the sources have to be verified and accurate. There are people who check your work, so to speak, to keep things on the up-and-up. Some people don't like the site because of this but I find it to be more detailed and interesting than IMDb. I do like IMDb, yet it's not as current as I would like it to be.
You are the first person I've met who updates Wikipedia. That's really neaat Nantz! I like it way better than IMDB too.
Me too JoJo, it is really neat, and use it for so many things. Very seldom do I go to IMDB.
If a student comes to me having used Wikipedia its an automatic "F". But for entertainment purposes it does the job. And now that I know that you contribute to VDO's Wikipedia page Nantz, I'll have alot more confidence in the information.
I too am blown away with your competency. And this latest factoid gives me something to look forward to.
Nantz, will never be able to thank you enough for your
awesome site and adherence to the truth.

Wow, thank you for the nice comments, guys. I figured it doesn't take that much more time to post on my site then swing over to Wikipedia to update the information. I like Wikipedia and use it exclusively for my 'Six Degrees' games and enjoy the tidbits I read that I wouldn't normally know about.
You rock, Nantz!!
