J.Lo and Bobby D. could soon be heating up the screen together.

The Hollywood Reporter says Jennifer Lopez and Robert De Niro are in talks to co-star in a remake of the 1955 romantic musical "Love Me Or Leave Me," with the pair stepping into roles originated by Doris Day and James Cagney.

The original film was based on the true story of 1930s diva Ruth Etting. The remake will be a more fictionalized account of a young singer's rise to fame under the stewardship of a Mob figure, who ends up being jilted when the singer falls in love with another musician.

The Hollywood Reporter said no start date has been set for the project, and Lopez and De Niro both have other projects they'd make before getting around to "Love Me Or Leave Me."

Lopez is considering a part in "Taking Lives," while De Niro has sequels to his hits "Meet The Parents" and "Analyze This."
