Celebrity Update Anna Faris to star in the remake of Private Benjamin. “Benjamin” starred Goldie Hawn in a star-making turn as a spoiled woman who joins the Army after her husband dies during sex on their wedding night. One of the top-grossing movies of that year, “Benjamin” was hailed for tackling women’s issues and earned three Oscar noms — for Hawn, supporting actress Eileen Brennan and original screenplay (Nancy Meyers, Charles Shyer and Harvey Miller).

The new take, to be written by Amy Talkington, will set the story in contemporary times with modern wars as the backdrop. Mark Gordon will producing the film.
