Overview
- Netflix confirmed the reboot Tuesday on social media, naming Emily Bader and Logan Lerman as the leads and Jennifer Garner as executive producer.
- Brett Haley will direct what he called a “reimagining,” reuniting with Bader after their January Netflix hit People We Meet on Vacation.
- Hannah Marks wrote the script with revisions by Flora Greeson, with Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum producing for RK Films.
- Plot, production start, and release timing remain undisclosed, with Deadline first reporting the project before Netflix confirmed it.
- The 2004 film earned about $96 million worldwide and became a rom-com touchstone, a track record that helps explain the streamer’s interest in a new take.
