Hollywood's in Queen mode

Scarlett Johansson in Mary, Queen Of Scots

This one's ambitious. Scarlett steps into royal shoes indeed with this remake by Sliver and The Saint director Phillip Noyce, where she tackles the role made famous in 1972 by the one and only Vanessa Redgrave.

The original film about the iconic Scottish Queen not only earned Redgrave a Best Actress nomination -- she lost the Oscar to Jane Fonda for Klute -- but also starred a terrific cast of dramatic actors, including Timothy Dalton, Patrick McGoohan and Nigel Davenport.

Again, all we can say in Scarlett's favour is that we'll stare at those curves more.
