'Party'-goers: Star, Presley
Darren Star is teaming with Priscilla Presley for MGM to remake the studio's Peter Sellers comedy The Party. Star and Presley will produce together, with Star eyeing the project for his feature directorial debut. Blake Edwards directed the 1968 release that saw Sellers star as an Indian film extra who is mistakenly invited to a swinging Hollywood party. There, he embarks on a series of slapstick misadventures. Claudine Longet, Natalia Borsova, Jean Carson, Marge Champion and Al Checco also starred. It's unclear if the remake will follow the exact story line. There is no writer yet on board to adapt it. At MGM, Elizabeth Cantillon is overseeing the project. Star and Presley are both repped by WMA. Star has directed episodes of his series Grosse Pointe and Sex and the City. Presley serves on the board of MGM.
