IT'S fair to say Madonna's film career hasn't been that successful, but the Material Girl keeps trying. Reports from Britain suggest she is hoping to do a remake of the classic film Casablanca. Madonna is reportedly hoping to film it in Iraq, and play the lead role of Ilsa Lund, which was made famous by Ingrid Bergman. Madonna isn't phased that most of her films have been turkeys. A source from a major Hollywood studio the singer had approached said it would be difficult to get the project going. "She is still determined to make it in the movies," the source said. "She and her representatives have been touring around a project, which is a remake of Casablanca. The reception has been lukewarm to say the least. No one can understand why she wants to redo what many people consider the greatest film of all time."
Madonna, 49, is in the middle of a promotional blitz to launch her album Hard Candy.
