Kim Basinger and Tracey Ullman are to star in a modern re-working of the Edgar Allen Poe classic 'The Raven,' report Ananova. And Ron Howard is set to direct.

The 1963 original, which was directed by Roger Corman, Vincent Price and Boris Karloff played two rival sorcerers battling for supremacy.

The story has now been transformed to modern day Los Angeles, with two women using their mystical powers to make a TV producer fall in love with them.

Greg Kinnear, Linda Hunt and Richard E Grant are likely to join them in the black comedy.

The film is said to go into production next Summer.
