Both Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway are being courted for the lead role in the upcoming 'Bride of Frankenstein' remake. The NY Post reports: BRIAN Grazer is remaking "The Bride of Frankenstein," but this time, the female monster is going to be a babe. "She'll be young. They're looking for a person with great power and sex appeal," a Hollywood insider told us. "Someone along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway." In the 1935 original, the frizzy-haired bride was played by bug-eyed English actress Elsa Lanchester. The new Universal Pictures/Imagine Entertainment version, first disclosed by The Hollywood Reporter, will be helmed and co-scripted by Neil Burger, who wrote and directed "The Illusionist."

Would either of these two actresses be the best choice?
