That could possibly be what they mean by "new take". They might be steering it a bit more in the direction of the style of current Comedy Action shows. We know once Hollywood finds a trend they get in on it. They're already talking about Bridgerton copies being in the works.

As much as it will fit her to play Kim Novak I don't think she would want to play her in a CO-starring role. I think she would probably want the biopic role of Kim Novak. I like either Anya Taylor-Joy or Olivia Wilde in the role for this film.
Olivia Wilde would put forth a much bolder romantic effort than Blake would just based on their acting resumes comparatively.
Who knows. That's just me playing casting director. I chose Olivia because of her jawline and acting versatility. And Anya because of her cheek bones and she pulls off the old school hollywood look so smoothly.
I bet she did til they edited and cut it all up. The trailer showed waist down, legs up and around him, just an intense, erotic (would be) scene. Also Blake previously to the movie release a picture of herself and Brown in bed together with her wearing a bra and (likely) underwear. So much uncovered, it's a shame we have no access to it right now.
