So, first came the cult classic status. Then the Christina Ebersole's Broadway musical of the same title. But what's next for Jackie O's tattered, fabulous and eccentric cat-lovin' cousins, Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale? Supposedly production on a film version of Grey Gardens is in the works for a start next year. But who's to play the dames that occupied the Hampton, 14-room shingled estate that one time brother duo Albert and David Maysles capture with that calm hand held camera of theirs in 1975? But cherub-cheeked Drew Barrymore playing Little Edie and Jessica Lange playing her older, canned-paté loving mother of course. Micheal Sucsy, the Georgetown alumni and award-winning producer of the short "Katherine", is writting and directing the feature film. Supposedly handsome, Irish-Jew Al Maysels and crew all took a drive out to Suffolk County to see the restored estate recently. Let's just hope that the film just wont be another damned lacking remake.
