Is this a "Remake" of "Paris-When It Sizzles?"

When I read the story outline of this movie, (Alex & Emma) it sounded almost exactly like the Audrey Hepburn and William Holden film "Paris-When It Sizzles." The story is a little different (Holden's character is a screenwriter forced to write a script in two days for his boss; Wilson's character is just a novelist who needs to make a winning novel to pay off his gambling debts). But, both stories have almost uncanny similarities. First, both men (Holden & Wilson)are men who have bent the rules a bit, but are good people at heart. Holden's character was living it up in Paris before he realized he had to finish writing a script before he got in trouble; Wilson's character was living it up gambling before he realized he had to write a novel to pay off his bosses. Sound familiar? Secondly, and most sriking, are the women. Audrey is also a stenographer in "Paris-When It Sizzles" and she also acts out the story Holden is envisioning. She gives her input, and he takes it in, then they both agree the story needs more fine tuning after the actual story has been acted out by her. Kate Hudson's character in "Alex & Emma" does the same thing. She acts out his story in the same way, as his vision. And well, as both stories go, the two main characters fall in love in both the "story" and out of the "story." It's a little funny that the Hepburn/Holden flick never was very successful, and it seems with the Wilson/Hudson semi "remake," it doesn't look like much of a winning formula, even in the year 2000.
