Get ready for some nostalgia, and maybe a dial up modem sound or two. Warner Bros. is developing a reboot of You’ve Got Mail, the beloved 1998 romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Deadline first reported the news.
Who Is Making the New You’ve Got Mail?
- Studio: Warner Bros.
- Writer and director: Jason Orley, who is writing a new screenplay based on an earlier draft by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont
- Producers: Neal Moritz and Tania Landau through their Original Film banner
Jason Orley is no stranger to romantic comedies. He directed the 2022 rom com I Want You Back starring Jenny Slate and Charlie Day.
Who Will Star?
No cast has been announced yet, and plot details are still under wraps. Of course, the big question every fan is asking is who could possibly follow Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Tell us your dream casting in the comments!
A Look Back at the Original
Directed by Nora Ephron, the original You’ve Got Mail reunited Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan after Sleepless in Seattle. Hanks played Joe Fox, the owner of a big chain bookstore, and Ryan played Kathleen Kelly, the owner of a small children’s bookshop he is putting out of business. Little do they know, they are also falling for each other through anonymous emails.
The cast also included Greg Kinnear, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and Steve Zahn. The movie was itself a modern take on the 1940 classic The Shop Around the Corner, so a fresh update for a new generation feels right in line with its history.
