Foxy Brown
WHAT IT WAS In the 1974 blaxploitation classic, Foxy Brown (Pam Grier) infiltrates an illegal call-girl ring to seek revenge on the gangsters who killed her boyfriend.
WHAT IT WILL BE Expect the new Foxy to be just as foxy: Halle Berry will star in an MGM remake, with a script by John Ridley (''U Turn'').
WHY WE CARE If Berry packs heat in her Afro (as Grier did in the original), it will be SO cool.
WHERE IT'S AT, MAN The movie is scheduled to start shooting at the end of the year, with hopes of getting ''Foxy'' in theaters some time in the next year or two.
