Madonna is hoping to remake classic movie Casablanca, but update it for a modern-day audience by setting it in Iraq.

The triple Oscar-winning flick is regarded as one of the best films ever made, frequently topping greatest movie polls and hosting a heap of memorable quotes from the script such as "Here's looking at you, kid."

However, the Hung Up singer wishes to improve the original and has already approached producers with her idea.A source at a major Hollywood studio tells the Daily Mail: "She is still determined to make it in the movies.

"She and her representatives have been touting around a project which is a remake of Casablanca. The reception has been lukewarm to say the least. No one can understand why she wants to redo what many people consider the greatest film of all time."

The source added: "Madonna is talking about taking the Ingrid Bergman role for herself, even though Bergman was in her 20s when she played Ilsa and Madonna is nearly 50.

"She wants to update the story and maybe set it in a modern war zone such as Iraq. There is no script yet.

"Madonna and her people are testing the waters to see if this is the right vehicle for her and if a major studio will get behind the project."
