Little Women is getting another remake – but it sounds so epic, we might just let them have this one.
The novel, written by Louisa May Alcott, is reportedly in the running to be picked up by Greta Gerwig following the success of Lady Bird last year.
And whos in the cast? Only Meryl Streep, Emma Stone, Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet, if reports are correct.
While the official announcement on casting is yet to be made, the internet has been buzzing over the potential line-up.
All of the above have earned nominations for, and even won, Oscars, so this looks like a mission for awards season glory should it go ahead.
Saoirse and Timothee have also previously worked with Greta Gerwig, both taking roles in Lady Bird.
