Jenna Ortega is quite known for her bold choices in cinema and the actress is one of the top choices to take part in a remake of a beloved film from the early 90s. The 1992 erotic thriller Single White Female is all set to get remade with a fresh take, and Ortega is one of the top choices to lead the film, along with Taylor Russell. The original film starred Bridget Fonda as Allie Jones and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Hedy Carlson.
Sony and Elizabeth Gabler’s 3000 Pictures will be behind the remake, but it's not yet clear who might direct and write the film. Barbet Schroeder was the director for Single White Female and seeing as he is still active, he might make a return for the new version of the film.
Although not much is known about the project as of now, the casting choices do look quite promising, seeing as Russell and Ortega are both wonderful choices for the genre, given their background in similar projects. Ortega is known for her role in Wednesday and Scream, while Russell has starred in films like Bones and All and Words on Bathroom Walls.
