Madonna might want to remake 'Casablanca'

The Juice* is starting to think there is simply way too much Madonna news making its way into our midst, but how about this monument to absurdity? Madonna is scheming to remake Casablanca. And set it in Iraq. And then threaten the world with it in exchange for a bath drawn from the blood of 10,00 fair-skinned virgins, we're guessing.

The ever-reputable Daily Mail says the non-actress wants to hit it big, so why not destroy a cherished Hollywood classic in the process?

"She is still determined to make it in the movies. She and her representatives have been touting around a project which is a remake of Casablanca," a source told the paper. "The reception has been lukewarm to say the least. No one can understand why she wants to redo what many people consider the greatest film of all time."

The source goes on to say she wants to play Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa, and set the as-yet-unscripted flick in war-torn Iraq. At this rate, they'll probably replace Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine with Ashton Kutcher and have Sam play some ridiculous medley of Rick Astley songs. That's it; Madge has just got to be Rick Rolling all of us!

Madonna should know that her time has passed; she hasn't had a hit song for quite awhile, her influence on pop culture is waning, and her movie career peaked with Evita back in 1996. With her dramatic range she should consider remaking the Maltese Falcon; she'd perfect as the much-talked-about, although thoroughly counterfeit, statuette.
