Already slated to direct the remake of the 1966 British caper comedy Gambit with Colin Firth already set to lead the film with Cameron Diaz at his side, director Michael Hoffman (The Last Station, One Fine Day) is lining up yet another project. THR reports that the filmmaker will be at the helm of Girls' Night Out, a romantic fairytale of sorts that will have Dakota Fanning playing a teenage Princess Margaret around the time of V.E.

The actress who will play her sister has yet to be cast, but the role will likely be filled before the project is shopped around to buyers at the European Film Market later this year. Interested?
