Lopez And De Niro Join Forces

Movies
Robert De Niro and Jennifer Lopez are set to team up to remake the 1955 film 'Love Me Or Leave Me'.

The new film (writer Howard Gould) will only be loosely based on the original film and will follow a love triangle set in the music industry.

The plot summary provided by IMDB for the 1955 original, while the original was a musical, the remake won't be. The original starred Doris Day and James Cagney.

Jazz Age singing sensation Ruth Etting (Doris Day) had looks, ambition and a haunting, smoketinged voice. It took more than that to make her a star. It took Marty 'The Gimp' Snyder (James Cagney), the limping, evil-tempered Chicago hood who propelled Ruth from dingy dance halls to Broadway fame...but turned her offstage life into a nightmare of violence and fear.

De Niro and Lopez both have many prior commitments, so release date for the movie should be late 2002.
