Jamie Lee Curtis in “Murder, She Wrote” Film
As reported by the U.S. industry magazine “Variety,” Oscar winner and superstar Jamie Lee Curtis (“Halloween,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once”) recently confirmed her participation in the project at a premiere event—and that it is indeed still in progress. “Oh, it’s going to happen,” she told a reporter from “Entertainment Tonight.”
According to Curtis, they are still “a minute” away from actually starting work, but she is “very excited.” For now, she wants to hold back her own enthusiasm until filming begins. She mentioned she has a few other projects to complete first, but then she can fully enjoy working on “Murder, She Wrote.”

With this, Curtis officially confirms her participation in the remake of the material. Previously, there were rumors in Hollywood that she would take on the lead role. The director of the film is currently unknown. However, screenwriters Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, who have contributed scripts to “Orange Is The New Black” and “Dumb Money,” bring relevant experience. “The Lego Movie” creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller are on board as producers.
