Another new interview of Carey Mulligan as she promotes her new film, The Greatest (which opens in theaters this Good Friday , April 2nd ). This time, the CM new interview is from Hollywood News.com ... Hollywood News recently spoke to Mulligan in Los Angeles at a press day for the film. In addition to speaking about the appeal of working on another modest project as she ventures tentatively into the world of big-budget filmmaking, she offered a few updates about some future projects, including Money Never Sleeps , the Kazuo Ishiguro adaptation Never Let Me Go , and My Fair Lady , a proposed remake of the acclaimed musical for which Mulligan is considered the perfect stand-in for her on-screen forebear, Audrey Hepburn.

The root of the project is sexual relations and animal passions involving two sisters - sculptress Gudrun Brangwen (the part Rosamund will play) and her sister Ursula, a timid teacher - and two men from opposite sides of the social divide, Rupe
