Uma Thurman is keen to get Eloise up and running again. What’s not clear is whether Thurman will continue starring as Eloise’s long-suffering nanny or turn producer. Thurman had hired Bert Fields, Hollywood’s most feared showbiz lawyer, to represent her against London-based Handmade. She argued that not only had Handmade not paid her an agreed £2.8 million pay-or-play fee, but that she’d also lost earnings waiting for Eloise to start. Now Thurman has settled her £6 million ($10 million) lawsuit against Handmade Films.

I hope she’s not Nanny. That would be terribly miscast. She’s not nearly old enough and no one can top Julie Andrews’ brilliant performance in the ABC Family Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime. I don’t understand why they’re even making this film. Disney should have tried to do this years ago when Sofia Vassilieva was still young enough to be Eloise. This new adaptation is a terrible idea.
I couldn’t agree more with the previous comment!
