Steve Martin just may be the man to tackle the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau in a remake of �The Pink Panther�. MGM is developing the project with producer Ivan Reitman and says that Martin is the top choice to take on the role played by Peter Sellers in the original 1964 film. 

�. But Martin has not yet signed on the dotted line. There are press reports citing �sources� that say Martin has read the script and is still considering the part. 

The 1964 film kicked off a franchise of films featuring the bumbling French detective. Sellers took on the staring role in five �Panther� films. Roger Moore and Alan Arkin also took at stab at the roll of Clouseau in subsequent installments.
