Caroline Morahan has revealed she is writing her own Pretty Woman – and has penned a rom-com.
The former RTE star has wrote the movie over the last couple of months, and wants it on par with The Hangover.
And Caroline – who is now based in the States – hopes to be able to film the flick in Ireland.
“I’ve been writing it for the past couple of months it’s really been such a laugh. I have big plans for it. I really want to get it made, and I want to shoot it in Ireland,” she said.

“I’ve been really inspired by friends who have produced their own work and I think it’s the way to go, because you spend so much time as an actress waiting for other people to give you a job.
“You put your heart and soul into every audition that you don’t have control of, so this is something that gives me a bit of control and a bit of room to do my own creative work. It’s really fulfilling.”
And Caroline said she wanted it to be a romantic comedy to be able to push women to the forefront of the movie.

Asked why she made it a rom-com, she told VIP: “I like it when women are being really, really fully and I haven’t laughed really hard at a big budget comedy for a long time.
“The Hangover was the first time, for years, that I really found myself laughing out loud at, and I always think there are so many examples of male-lead comedies.
“Then Bridesmaids came along and I thought, ‘Well, that is something that is so long overdue; something that is more female focussed.’
“I want something that is laugh out loud, spit your popcorn out of your mouth funny. I want really belly laughs.”
