According to several websites, including Variety and Playbill, Universal has announced it is developing a remake of the film version of 'The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas'.

They have hired the screenwriters of Legally Blonde to pen the film, which is being produced by the makers of 'Twilight'.

Apparently Universal have not announced as to whether the film will retain Carol Hall's score from the stage (though I would assume that the majority of the songs will be used), whether some of Parton's songs will be used (unlikely if she isnt a part of it), or whether any songs will be rehashed from its stage sequel 'The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public'

Here's the link from Playbill http://www.playbill.com/news/article/13684...ehouse-for-Film
 
This is one of my all-time favourite films, although on repeated viewing the Dolly Parton songs just don't fit in with the themes and sound of the original stage musical ones.

I also blame it for making me gay.

Seeing the Aggies Song when still at secondary school was enlightening. Simply enlightening. The most homoerotic thing you'd ever wish to see. Yee-ha.

Tragically, given the era it was made in, the director and most of the dancers playing Aggies were wiped out.
