This comes courtesy of Mr. Garth Franklin, that wonderful editor of Dark Horizons, who broke this to in today's update as softly as a ton of bricks falling on Roger Rabbit:
North by Northwest: They merely walked down a premiere red carpet together before going their separate ways but already the rumours are spreading wildly. Now the apex of said nonsense has been reached with The Greenock Telegraph reporting that Irish hunk Colin Farrell is interested in buying the rights to remake one of Hitchcock's ultimate classics - 1959's "North by Northwest" with the hopes of getting Britney Spears to play a supporting role. The new version would have Farrell as an advertising agent, mistaken for a government spy, scurrying around Anstruther in Scotland (so no Mt. Rushmore set piece or corn field plane chases it seems). Spears would play "a kindly local, who lends a helping hand" - sheesh. "Colin loves the area and has forever wanted to make a movie in our fine town. We've been told he's found the perfect vehicle" says one local, whilst production is rumoured to be starting after Farrell wraps work on "Alexander the Great". Thanks to 'Pip'.
I would like to formally tell you all, the other six Horseman of the Apocolypse have indeed been sited. This is really the end of the world. Thank you, and good night.

Seriously, though, it's good to see a familar face. Hope certain members over there on BOM are treating you better than I was.
