Instead of prepping Home Alone 4 or Splash 2, Macaulay Culkin and Daryl Hannah are struting their stuff on the British boards, reported Mrshobiz.com.
Far from his childhood movies, Mac is in negotiations to make his London stage debut opposite Irene Jacob in the new play Madame Melville, about a 15-year-old in Paris who has an affair with his French instructor.
The 19-year-old has been absent from showbiz since the 1996 film Getting Even With Dad.
Meanwhile, Hannah is taking on one of Marilyn Monroe’s most famous film roles, in The Seven Year Itch, and — as Nicole Kidman and Kathleen Turner did in their still-talked-about performances — the ex-mermaid may go au natural.
However, don’t look for the famous moment from the 1955 film, in which Marilyn’s white dress blew up to reveal her million-dollar gams. The payoff in this production would be a seduction scene, in which Hannah may or may not strip down.
“The scene in the play doesn’t specify whether she takes off her nightclothes or if they stay on. It will be up to [director] Mike Radford and Daryl to decide what’s appropriate,” producer Laurence Myers said. The Seven Year Itch and Madame Melville are both set to open in October.
