Steven Spielberg is to direct a remake of 1950 James Stewart classic Harvey - the tale of a man who claims his best friend is a giant invisible rabbit.Casting for the film, a co-production between 20th Century Fox and Spielberg's DreamWorks Studios, has already begun.The original film was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play of the same name by Mary Chase.A Fox spokesman said the film could be in US cinemas by the end of 2010.Production is due to begin early next year.Stewart received a best actor nomination at the 1951 Oscars for his performance in the original while his co-star, Josephine Hull, won best supporting actress. I wonder how he would feel if someone re-made ET or one of his movies. I had thought there were SOME people in Hollywood who didn't need to remake old movies for money.
