The Remake: Dazzling Oscar-winning musical starring Rene Zellwegger and Catherine Zeta-Jones as competing showgirls both banged up in the clink together. Director Rob Marshall’s next musical, Nine, wasn’t quite so impressive.
The Original We Didn't Know About: Roxie Hart from 1942 was based on the 1927 silent movie Chicago, and went on to become the 1975 stage show musical that Marshall’s Chicago would eventually be based on. Whew! Ginger Rogers played Hart in the ’42 version.
Key Differences: The original Roxie Hart had a plotline in which the titular wannabe confesses to a murder in the hope that the publicity will gain her fame. In the ’02 version, the fame is an unplanned bonus side effect of Hart’s arrest.
