Brothers Joel and Ethan Coen have brought some interesting movies to the big screen, but their latest work might be their biggest challenge. The brother team is in negotiations to do a remake of 1966's Gambit.

The new project is being touted as a possible vehicle for Brit-extraordinaire Hugh Grant. Having honed their skills with funny accents with Fargo, it's a sure bet that the Coens will have another hit on their hands.
