A Louise Brooks movie?
According to various news reports . . .

SHIRLEY MacLAINE has developed a script for a movie about the life of screen icon LOUISE BROOKS - and she wants to play the dancer in her latter years. The actress reveals filmmaker Martin Scorsese is interested in directing the movie.

She tells WENN, "I've written a script with Kathleen Tynan and it was a pretty good script. Martin Scorsese is interested in doing it. He took an option on the script, so that might happen.

"I'd love to be part of the film - I'd love to play Brooks in her later years, when she was living an isolated, hermit-like existence in upstate New York."

Hasn't this been kicking around for a while, though?

If Ms. MacLaine, 74, doesn't get to it in this life, she promises to keep trying in her next.

There was some talk of it a while ago, but all I can find on a quick search now is this small blurb:

"12.10.03 - TV Guide Online reports that Neve Campbell is poised to play silent-film star-turned-elusive actress Louise Brooks in an upcoming big screen biopic. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress purchased Peter Nickowitz and Bill Oliver's screenplay Lulu as an acting vehicle for herself."
