Could detective Miss Marple be set to get a makeover? Rumour has it, actress Jennifer Garner is in line to star as the super sleuth in a new movie, which will see the traditional tale get a dazzling Disney makeover.

According to film website Deadline, bosses at the studio have decided to reinvent the famous set of Agatha Christie stories, drafting in Twin Peaks screenwriter Mark Frost, to craft a younger, more modern version.

It's thought the Miss Marple movie will have a contemporary feel, which would explain why lovely lady Jennifer Garner – some years younger than any Miss Marple we’ve ever seen before! – has landed the lead.

Reports suggest the Juno actress - stepping into the shoes of stars such as Angela Lansbury and Geraldine McEwan - could even star in, and produce the movie, along with assistant Julia Janes.

But with details being kept carefully under wraps, it’s not yet known who else will appear in the film.

Miss Garner can currently be seen in Arthur, alongside Russell Brand and Helen Mirren, and is also set to star in upcoming flick Butter, with Twi-beauty Ashley Greene.

There's a large number of more talented older UK actresses who could play Miss Marples exceptionally well and more realistically
Another case of ignoring good talent for someone younger and American who not only thinks she is good enough to star in the film but also produce it.
Dream on not at all the part for you. Agatha Christie would turn in her grave!

Even if they wanted to go down the American route there are plenty of talented older American actresses who could do the part.
