Funny girl Anna Faris will try her hand at reviving a big-name comedy: She'll star in the remake of Private Benjamin, the movie that made Goldie Hawn a star in 1980 and earned her an Oscar nomination. The movie, about a spoiled rich widow duped into joining the Army, will be set in modern times with current wars as the backdrop. Faris, notes the Hollywood Reporter, is "one of the few comediennes who can open a movie." (More Anna Faris stories.)
