Ill Postino's Michael Radford will direct the revamp about a pair of romantic pensioners.

The new film will be set in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Both Maclaine and Plummer are enjoying a career rebirth - Plummer won his first Oscar earlier this year (12) for his supporting role in Beginners and Maclaine recently joined the cast of acclaimed British TV drama Downton Abbey.
